A poem about human nature, truth and the definition of "Right and Wrong".
The whole world, in one breath,
Wait for the rabbit to pull out the hat
A cherished utopia
By billions, all blind

Taken by the will to
Reign over the world
And all of them, in a row,
Acting like robots, filthy

None can see
The next one starving
Underneath the royal navels
Each one feeling the peak
Of creation, how much heresy

Defying God, we create cults
Fictions, stories, rules
All in the name of progress
And foolish harmony,
But we just don't see the
Forbidden fruit that was laid
Right in front of us

In the name of vanity,
Pride,
We distort the world,
We create the Truth,
And we don't even look back

Well, who defined it?
Right and wrong,
Virtue and vice,
Is there no pontifical?
