A hawk in the sky
just floating effortlessly
on a wisp of air...Kelly McManus

Teach you what you know
so the only words you hear
are prerecorded

                    Kelly McManus

Life is always nice
when there is tranquility
and crisp fresh air after a rain
to breath in again and again
until my lungs
are about to burst
with a satisfying thirst for life
I drink in the colors
that this world pours out
and smile for a moment
no doubt

What have they begun
but racing to suicide
without a helmet

           Kelly McManus

Save you from yourselves
really a tall order
want fries and a shake

                  Kelly McManus

Lasers plagues  and bombs
oh my they can't tell you why
heartless brainless lies...Kelly McManus

It's a daunting task
watching people of this world
kissing so much ***

                         Kelly McManus

You speak of duty
and some percentage we owe
sorry don't think so

                        Kelly McManus

Pick forget me nots
and then place them on my grave
as I slowly rot

                               Kelly McManus

As the emptiness
grows the unenlightenment
spreads like a shadow

                    Kelly McManus

Close the book on them
humanity chose to be
just a short story

              Kelly McManus

Chasing each other
up and around a pine tree
the squirrels are happy

                  Kelly McManus

Put out other stuff
huffed and puffed but people want
bunnies and puppies
                                        Kelly McManus

I can see them try
to manipulate my mind
like they've done to you...Kelly McManus

Who's going to rescue
all of you from your free will
just the mortician

How dumb can they be
advancements in weaponry
to free you of life

                     Kelly McManus

Pretty little birds
swarming the hanging suet
chirp while they chew it

                                          Kelly McManus

So much frustration
to bring the world to peaceful
cohabitation

Ever wish you were
born on a planet that had
intelligent life

                Kelly McManus

Pricelessness of life
sad many people agree
to the contrary
          
             Kelly McManus

When common sense ends
with lessons being ignored
what did you expect

Pigeonholed controlled
from the day of your first breath
till you stop breathing

                            Kelly McManus

Oil slick ocean
and a plastic island sea
thanks humanity

            Kelly McManus

They have no power
unless you believe in them
it's then that your lost

                   Kelly McManus

Ocean at days end
sunset coloring the mist
of waves soon at rest

             Kelly McManus

Truth about Judas,
go on, follow his footsteps;
kiss your soul goodbye.

                                   Kelly McManus

Society is
institutional decay
just rotting away

    Kelly McManus

Makes a poet cry
nothing you can say or write
that stops stupid fights

                       Kelly McManus

They've infringed too much
and invaded all our lives
ask them they'll deny

                      Kelly McManus

Love masters degrees
imaginary science
called psychology

          Kelly McManus

Look at what they do
now say it's alright with you
guess your the problem

                       Kelly McManus

Geniuses don't build
weapons to destroy the world
only the insane...Kelly McManus

None of them worthy
to lead civilization
into the future...Kelly McManus

Implementation
Demilitarization
Self-Preservation

Your patriotic
duty to fight anyone
who'll take their *****

           Kelly McManus

What is the future
but a present that worked out
learning from the past

No don't need nations
their misappropriations
or indignation...Kelly McManus

Arms race only means
evolutions missing link
is intelligence

             Kelly McManus

The worlds greatest minds
can't seem to find
a cure for war
guess they're
not so great
after all
and I have to laugh
when I see them sign
their big tobacco
endorsement checks
the worlds greatest minds
don't mind
turning on a dime
or doctoring reports
to improve exports
for those whos
moral compasses
always point to worth
at the expense
of planet earth
never seem to find
the worlds greatest minds
in the unemployment line
cause they don't mind
being subsidized by the
think tank gas lines...Kelly McManus

Indoctrinated
to the point of no return
can there be a cure

              Kelly McManus

Light is fading fast
they've put this world in the trash
lid's closing at last

                                Kelly McManus

What you hope to find
following in their footsteps
someone else's path

                    Kelly McManus

I don't follow them
because I know where they lead
disastrously...Kelly McManus

Look around the world
tell me if you ever see
an unmolded mind

                 Kelly McManus

Hear the voices say
sanity's overrated
why the worlds crazy

          Kelly McManus

More percentages
seems they never have enough
but they say your free...Kelly McManus

Make peace make war but
something in between doesn't
cut it anymore

                         Kelly McManus

World supremacy
stunning how stupid they are
soon they'll go too far

                        Kelly McManus

Living and dying
with their monetary lies
they force us to buy...Kelly McManus

Clock in and clock out
join everyone else in doubt
or stay home and pout

Kelly McManus
