Lets see what happens

on this
endless stage

to this
lifeless age

what is seen
in darkness

when all lights
burn dim

to reckless
abandon

did i have
a hand in

the rape
and pillage

of this world
so grim

the wind whispers history
on wings of decay

consumed in the acrid fumes
the smoke of industry

and the cry is heard
of the blood of nature
spilled in the wreckage
of where its home should be

the steps taken to
leave reality behind

have left poisonous
track marks on our mind

a paganistic
prophecy
fulfilled

writ in the blood
of innocence
killed

stuffed in the drawer
in a fat officials desk

make truth a theory
and leave out all the rest

"the ignorant masses
have no sense of right

and they are faithful
to the flag
i had to burn
last night"

living skull
of what was once
upheld

a nations pride
that
and nothing else

is what
are forefathers
fought
and died to
redeem

buried under
oil stained soil
to buy another
diamond ring

so why do you live

and what do you stand behind

questions unanswered
by a people
obsessed with there own demise

and an undercut
salary curse

the economy
is being made worse

by this
indecision

cancerous division

a generation
lacking vision

of the rude awakening
in store
for our blood...
and there children

who will suffer

for our mistakes

forevermore
