News they choose to air
desensitizing us all
for when it gets worse

              Kelly McManus

We're  collateral
to their interest and control
at least we have souls...Kelly McManus

There's no reason why
mankind tries so hard to die
one more war should do

                     Kelly McManus

Family of man
reunion one big happy
family we'll be

            Kelly McManus

Just to let you know
to maintain the status quo
we're expendable

Where are we going
looks like back to where we've been
once more round the rut

Mother nature says
gonna swat you like a fly
don't test me mankind

                Kelly McManus

Capital idea
jumping off a cliff into
a cool blue ocean

                       Kelly McManus

Send the world leaders,
to Mars, for a winner take
all, pay-per-view match.

                               Kelly McManus

World of followers
the obvious conclusion
you went the wrong way

                Kelly McManus

Without any change
rows of stones with peoples names
is all that remains

                                  Kelly McManus

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

A smile on my face
I look at the human race
pathetically

               Kelly McManus

Obliterated
thousands of lives proud moment
in your history

                                Kelly McManus

Self destruction not
the way you were meant to go
but you don't care so

                                    Kelly McManus

Nothing will remain
but an irradiated plain
of forgotten dreams

         Kelly McManus

We use to dream of
flying dandelion seeds
in air we could breath

            Kelly McManus

What hope tomorrow
if we don't make today right
then yesterday wins

                      Kelly McManus

What good are words when
people don't listen unless
it will profit them

                      Kelly McManus

Script remains the same
plot is along the same vein
it's gratuitous

                   Kelly McManus

Tell me have you heard
they're destroying the planet
isn't it absurd

                       Kelly McManus

Many of the plans
their shortening our life spans
yet you go along

                          Kelly McManus

What's it gonna be
living a happy future
or war and disease

Keep the pace when you're
chasing dreams they might outrun
your expectations
                                 Kelly McManus

Small group of people
causing a whole world of hurt
for what its all worth...Kelly McManus

Running out of time
when the days become too long
and memory's short

                            Kelly McManus

Yes the end of time
comes to mind when I look at
todays world leaders

                        Kelly McManus

When will conflict end
when will brains begin to think
lowered into graves

                           Kelly McManus

Wherever we go
the interaction factions
imposing themselves

            Kelly McManus

Complaints department
doesn't bring you disarmament
just escalation

                           Kelly McManus

The sun is shining
another beautiful day
where birds sing of love

Again and again
you were warned but in the end
**** oblivion

                       Kelly McManus

Water is dwindling
and there's nothing they can do
dance medicine man
shake a rattle
beat your drum
chant at the fire
and make the rains come
cry to fill the clouds
that are passing by
dry in the sky
as your moccasins move
to the beat that you make
a great spirit
is what it will take
to raise the rivers
and fill the lakes


                  Kelly McManus

Mirror images
war's a synonym of hate
often deflected

Looked beyond
your eyes
into dreams
you were dreaming
my surprising
in those dreams
beyond your eyes
I looked to see
you were dreaming
of me
dreaming of me
in such a way
I never knew
your dreams
would include
you saying
so passionately
hold me love me
and make my dreams
a reality set free
from only being
in my dreams
which is why
you dream of me...Kelly McManus

They entered my mind
now they are completely lost
exhausting themselves

                       Kelly McManus

Even in the depths
of despair my faith finds me
a breath of fresh air
                                    Kelly McManus

So when the end comes
will you be filled with regret
you could have stopped it

                       Kelly McManus

So where do we go
on a path too certain death
or leave those *******...Kelly McManus

If suicides a sin,
that excludes you from heaven,
go on, build more bombs!

                                 Kelly McManus

Thinkings optional
that's why there's so little thought
things that need to stop

                          Kelly McManus

Heroes point their guns
if you don't comply with them
will it ever end

                          Kelly McManus

Looked into the eyes
of an owl to see any
insights it could tell

         Kelly McManus

Where is tomorrow
after today fades away
is there another

            Kelly McManus

My enemies friends
I've met so many of them
that they keep sending...Kelly McManus

What are you without
all your pewny little guns
your only human

                   Kelly McManus

Exploratory
brain surgery not welcome
ya know what I mean

                   Kelly McManus

When mankind destroys
itself do you think maybe
that a four legged fish

                 Kelly McManus

You give them control
all they return you is war
how many more times...Kelly McManus

Do you need a tie
to be a human being
uniformity
