Enlightenment

Wrong or right, cowards coldly killing kids, it ain’t aight
from favor to failure, once traumatized kids contemplate suicide
expect them to grow and abide, while acting like Jekyll and Hyde
the principles you preach day and night, you gladly set aside
what do you think happens to kids witnessing bodies torn apart
turn to an outlaw, doomed to downfall, if you decide not to ride
rather, write about man’s right, follow me, as truth comes to light
the fear doesn’t disappear just because it hasn’t been said out loud
we’ve embarked on the wrong route, can’t no longer find a way out

freedom, tolerance and equal rights were some of the ideals
before you fall head over heels, for a dream without wheels
imagine a world, where wealth was worthless, imagine it’s real
a world where warriors are for the people, not the great seal
he was caring and good hearted, but for no man he would kneel
once you learn truth, you’ll know that you’re just the fifth wheel  

folks feel superior, proudly refer to the Age of Enlightenment
if man is so great, how come he is murdering the environment
you decide where truth lies, but who gave you that entitlement
modern times, so many lost and lonely souls exist in confinement
