Truth

In truth there simply has to be A way to cause the world to see From here we can not get to there This place can only serve despair Choices made and sides begot Fear be fed and hatred taught A distance furthered in between Illusion wrapped up in a dream Self inflicted pain and rage Caught up in this twisted cage Where heaven’s light doth barely seep Lost from love in places deep Children who deserve a life Suffer through unending strife All because we can not see Our false individuality How is one worth more or less? Based on where they lay their heads? Until each mother’s safe and fed And every child’s life is led Until all people hold it true That you are me and I am you This downward spiral’s sure to spread Leading to it’s own sick end And those who sadly can’t believe In peace, love, and prosperity Will continue on this evil trend From fathers on to grandchildren Damning us eternally To live in false reality Separation feeds the beast Until the masses pray for peace Seeking mercy fair and sweet Alas in truth we’ll be set free
