People
Refuse
Recycle
Garbage in
Garbage out
Lessons forgot
Ignorance sought
Ignoramuses speaking
Brilliance lacking
I didn’t know
I wasn’t shown
Never was I told
Lies upon lies
Truth denied
Burned up in a fire
Pouring gas on the ashes
Reignition before resignation
Determination
Holds true for a time
But sooner or later
Such things can no longer
Be burned down
Then what
Who is gonna be at fault
Who is gonna take the blame
Someone somewhere
Must face the music
A bullet is coming
Heading this way
Fired at center mass
Not at our ass
When it finds its mark
When it makes impact
Someone somewhere
Is brutally gonna die
Are they innocent
Wait
An innocent person
Preposterous
Those to be standing around
Looking down
Upon the newly dead
Will sound every alarm
No not him
Is he deceased
Does his heart no longer beat
Does his mind no longer perceive
Who could have killed him
Who could have taken a life
The paramount question will be
Why was the trigger pulled
Missing completely
A far more important of question
Who the fuck loaded the gun
And aimed down the sights
People
Sheeple
Follow the leader
Right off a cliff
Down into sadder depths
Depravity for depravities sake
What an absolute waste
God is sadly ashamed
His creation
Wildly gone astray
There is no other way
Things like this
Must be explained
Reason and truth
Are not forgotten ropes
That we use to hang ourselves by
They are the only things
That should matter most
Everything else is horseshit
Oh yeah
Because I am one of you
A person, people, sheeple
I offer you the right to hate me
Please feel free
To be repulsed by my swears
Whatever your poison, pick it
And mutha-fucking run with it
Cast me out of the collective
Because you want me to suffer
Damn me to the god above
Grant me to the devil below
People
Unwilling participants
They refuse to learn
They refuse to know
All that they want to see
Will be viewed with blinders on
To them the reality of truth
Is nothing that need be defined…
