The sky never looked so dreadful before
It’s painted in grey that never ends
All I am is bare bones and skin
Just what will be my end
The cage or the oven?
We act like we are strong
And can resist the power of the raging mob
It’s a cancer of our existence
To make the other get on their knees
Begging please
Led by the oligarch or revolution fiend
Those who claim to be our savior or son
When each motherfucker on this planet wants a prophet (profit?)
A post modernist winter dread
Our hearts so callous, we no longer value life
We act like we are strong
And can resist the power of the raging mob
It is a cancer of our existence
To make the other get on their knees
Begging please
When will we ever learn what is right and what is wrong?
When the powers that be, fill us
With lies and uncertainty
To keep us fighting and from turning our guns on them?
