it's a bunch of crap
all they ever really do
is throw you their scraps

                Kelly McManus

Today's not so great
tomorrow's up for debate
just gotta have faith

                                       Kelly McManus

You've seen the warnings
and been given enough time
yet you beckon death

                                     Kelly McManus

Stood you on a stool
and then they attached a rope
now here's the kicker

                        Kelly McManus

Always tomorrow
until the day you wake up
and say oh bad luck

                                  Kelly McManus

The only good thing
about the latest plague strain
some of us survived

                       Kelly McManus

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

             Kelly McManus

The end of your dream
allowing hypocrisy
to choose your future

             Kelly McManus

One third is a dream
as you live your life between
the womb and the tomb

                       Kelly McManus

Totally unreal
the monetary system
that enslaves the world

Worlds been hypnotized
believing in those who would
make them vaporize

                        Kelly McManus

Time is no object
life is but a flickering
after is a fling

         Kelly McManus

Stoke the flames of hate
and with that fire forge your war
machines Satan

                               Kelly McManus

Emotionally
unstable species remains
top of the food chain

                 Kelly McManus

All the governments
simply go by just one name
it's hypocrisy

                      Kelly McManus

Alone with our woes
waiting on that solar flare
to end all our cares

                 Kelly McManus

Thought I only saw
your good side well guess again
my old two faced friends

                               Kelly McManus

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

Their world's a disgrace
forcing others to embrace
lives they will erase

                   Kelly McManus

This world means nothing
in the universal scheme
so destroy yourselves

                  Kelly McManus

All of your knowledge
and power worthless compared
to life's preciousness

                                   Kelly McManus

In our subconscious
there's a link too everything
everything we are

                     Kelly McManus

Love the world's leaders
watch them on TV while I
wait to hear the boom

                                      Kelly McManus

Lengths that they will go
so as to maintain control
shows state of their soul

                Kelly McManus

All of those painted rags;
dividing everyone from,
just being human beings

                         Kelly McManus

How much misery
until we reach the end of
your proud history

                               Kelly McManus

Sorry but your not
that far from being a fish
crawling on the shore

                                   Kelly McManus

They lit a candle
that still burns today melt down
will leave a puddle

                               Kelly McManus

The candle stick
is burning quick
and will soon
be out of wick
keeping it lit
will really be
a trick
of magic
to see
if the flame
will remain
alive
sputtering
to survive
its light
flickering
in a soft
breath of air
will it be
dark
or light
again
burning
at both
ends

Seeing where you've been
why do you continue on
such a rotten path

                   Kelly McManus

Will we all survive
uncivilized warring tribes
or die from small minds

Their rules don't apply
at least not to them it's a
special addendum

               Kelly McManus

Fill your hearts with Love
and free your minds of any
negativity

                   Kelly McManus

All you remember
the only power they have
is what you give them

The one with the gun
preventing everyone
from evolution

          Kelly McManus

Think your something more
than a primitive species
about to vanish

                      Kelly McManus

When germs are released
from what you call your own lab
time to wave a flag

                              Kelly McManus

It might take a while
if you give it time to work
prayer clears the air

                  Kelly McManus

Whether you like it
or not global warming will
change the way winds blow
                                                     Kelly McManus

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

                       Kelly McManus

My exhausted eyes
cry as I look at this world's
senseless disfunction

                    Kelly McManus

Know poetry doesn't
stop war, only you can, with
unified demand!

                            Kelly McManus

The well has dried up
for those who chose to digress
now you'll be tested

                          Kelly McManus

In a swamp of greed
where fly's are bringing disease
thanks Adam and Eve

                                   Kelly McManus

Mankind bang your drums
slap your swords against your shields
know your fates been sealed

                                       Kelly McManus

Cows aren't the problem with
global warming today
it's the human waste

                        Kelly McManus

Why even listen
their talk is hypocrisy
oh their thugs have guns

                Kelly McManus

Though your hopes were high
wind and solar power don't
seem to cut the fat

                          Kelly McManus

Always circling
just a few more moons and suns
and my life is done...Kelly McManus

How big their ego
that could only go so far
when the world was flat

               Kelly McManus
