New brings fear
Old breathes comfort
What was once abhorred
Now gets smothered
Cannot say
Cannot think
If you wear that
You can expect to sink
Learn this, ignore that
Laws of our present
Ignore the past
Prejudice changes
But dresses the same
Power over peace
Strength with no release

Searching for home
Searching for cars
How long is my journey?
Near or far?
Searching for love
Searching for safety
Why do our best years
Come out of the prior?
Searching for reason
Searching for pieces
Peace of mind
Pieced by the seasons
Searching for me
Searching for you
As time goes by
I forgot why I flew

Trading the real
Creating a joke
You jest and lie
Because that's your home
Cracking jokes
Sarcastic moans
Scholastic prose
Everything is a joke
To a plastic pro

Loaf to slices
Crackers to crumbs
Savings to starving
Space to crowds
Smiles to frowns
Every generation, worst to best
Returning empty-handed
Just like the rest

Bleeding ears
Tinittus
Not from me, must be you
Noise pollution
Covering eyes and ears
Like you could look
The mirror reveals all
Who caused this pollution?
Species, for all to see
Never slurred or stuttered
Cold hard truth
Warmed by hands
With blood all over

Resistant to the cure
Vulnerable to the infection
Poisoned chalice for the emperor
Drugged for peace
Suppressed for the least
Turned into who?
No one knows where I came from
Floating in space
Irreality, my new reality
Crazy and confused
It must be reality

Bullets fly
But the damage is skin deep
Masquerade ball
But the mask is on all day
Crossing cultures
But the purpose is monetary
Fighting for peace
But fighting never stops
Running in circles
But the path was made
Noise canceling
But the meaning never penetrates
One side goes down
The other goes up
Not even ground  
There is no even ground
