Wild Swans

How can you stand by idly?
When its so obvious there’s no drive to be
Civilised in a backward evolution
Is this a mirage in front of me?
Sacrifice my brain to be entertained is it comforting?
To willingly participate in your lobotomy
We’ve been maimed and shaped by deities
Belief imprisons fact to mould society
Make sure all your questions are sent to authority
Objectified
As deviant to think that were standing on the brink of our downfall
Tell me I’m not the only one wanting to jump
And find
A swinging vine
You hold so dear this grip on fear and knowledge you wish to be true
So wait as my knife inches in closer to your spine
Those who stand at tables dressed in white cloth
Submit their willingness to logic
Can’t you see our illness is chronic?
Don’t trust yourself
Not to trust the words they keep on eyelevel shelves
If there’s such a thing as hell it’s the mind of the unknowingly ignorant
Pull back the foliage
To discover poison at the roots
Some people see a little more clearly when they stare
And it’s safe to say in this empire age
None of us can bank on being safe for too long
We place our faith
In 1000 faces
With one name
Its tempting to walk into the water
And breathe in
When this error ends can we be sure
Another will begin
Don’t dance on the edge of your shadow
Waiting for light to chase away night on the side of the road
Is it worth it?
Is it worth the effort of screaming when fully submerged in dirt?
From what I’ve heard
A Whisper is often misinterpreted
Our culture burns
Synapses
Made from mistakes we’ve learned from
The sky will shine when we realise
