Therein The Beast Lies

 

     How complicit are they,

They that propagate the hate

We serve beneath?

And you my friend of World,

Are you in allegiance

With deceit and power and,

Should and does it matter today?

 

     Do we allow reality

Befall us all,

Or do we turn our back

Upon its value,

‘Consider’ only ourselves

And not,

     The World

In which our children die?

 

     (Did you work hard -

For your daily bread,

Is it stale and hard at the edge,

Does it feed your babes

And stop their screams

From piercing your soul;

     Screams of hunger,

     Screams of pain)?

 

     Are you the machine perpetuating

A false claim of freedoms

That in truth denigrates

Your human existence?

     Does it matter?

     Does it matter to them?

     Does it matter to you?

     Does it matter anymore?

 

     Everyone’s playing Murder!

From the dealer on the street,

To the Man concealing pain

Just to put dinner on the table,

Everyone’s complicit

Within this realm,

‘Everyone’s a politician;-

Playing dangerous games!’

 

     The truth be left in death,

The truth diminishing in time,

Honesty cares not for the living as,

Everyone’s taking bribes,

     And soon,

All seers wisdom

Will be nothing more than myth,

And we’ll all be known for lies,

     And this World,

     The World be left

To its final phase of glory,

Where blood shines

Brighter than any future Sun,

As ruled by the Gun,

We’ll deny the light

Within our soul.

 

     (They’ll say it not exist,

Bombard you without mercy,

And if you dare resist,

They’ll have you tortured in your grave,

     For each architect

That designed our fate

Knows only Power and its worth,

No virtue ‘there’ to rectify the wrongs;

Only the perishing of Earth).
