Technology
If we continue
to pretend
that what we see
is all there is
then the technology
that can
make a better life
for us all
will continue to be
held in chains
hidden
behind corrupted doors
denied
the freedom
it was designed for
then you us and we
will never
be free
to pretend
that what we see
is all there is
then the technology
that can
make a better life
for us all
will continue to be
held in chains
hidden
behind corrupted doors
denied
the freedom
it was designed for
then you us and we
will never
be free

How far
How far
would you go
to protect
your beliefs
how far
would you go
to defend
your denial
that demands
that you hang
by the neck

We
We pronounce
yet
our actions
do not speak
we renounce
yet
we watch it
breath
we pontificate
and abdicate
head bowed
on bended knees
when the mindless
within the shadows
of the elected
speak
about the freedom
that we
do not need
yet

Touch
One can never
describe
what one is feeling
by simply speaking
words
it is an emotional touch
that spiritual sigh
that creates the meaning
to what you are feeling
deep down inside

Bitter
Here comes your pain
again
running round your head
within your fragmented mind
thinking
of the things
you should of done
while listening to the truth
that seeps from your shadows
listening to the paranoid thoughts
that weep
on your grave of things
that you think
you need
blaming others
on the reasons why
you have become
undone

Relationships
One does not
have to regret
anything
one only has
to try
to put things right
and remember
never
ever
do it twice

Chained
Have you ever
asked your self
as you gaze
silently
at your reflection
in the bathroom
have you not ever
felt the cracks
forming
within your wall
has there not been
not once
new born thoughts
beginning to crawl
though those cracks
in your wall
is it not then
when that icy finger
slides slowly
down your spine
the mask
you are reflecting
speaks
with a hollow whisper
deep inside your mind
you are to be
what I want you
to be
as you...

Voting for promises broken
Do you not
have any sympathy
for the devil
because for the devil
it is getting harder
by the day
to compete
with those who claim
to represent
your intent
on how you wish
to be free
from the things
that should not be

Dark
Will it happen
again
as it did before
when the dark ages roard
will it happen
again
as it did before
when self inflicted ignorance
fear and greed
covered the land
of broken dreams
where the people moved back
into wooden shacks
where the children play
hide and seek
with the pigs and rats
where they sleep
where religion
once again
murders those
who refuse to bend
to things
that make no sense
again

Ologists
Orthodoxologists
are nothing but
a cracking layer
of decaying skin
thinly spread
upon a stagnant pond
of frightened thoughts
that they proudly present
in our schools
where your children are tought
to stay
within platos cave
where your children
are told
to achieve the grades
that one needs
one must not
question
things
that do not fit
within
our small minded
little box
of expertise

Why
Why are you
searching
for the key
to freedom
is it not
plain to see
that you are
