Behind the smoke and mirrors
Are discarded dreams and futures
Next to the buckets of collected tears
And sound proofing so no one hears
The pain and agony
The curses and profanity
As I try to beat the life out of me
Feeling my will fade gradually
Laughing like it's funny
And should the curtain fall
Exposing the brawl
Shining light on it all
Then I'll
Be forced to make the call
To build a wall
Four times as thick and twice as tall
To keep out all a y'all

those so full of ******* power
who think their farts

- are to be recorded as deep insight
in the story of Mankind.

nothing worse
a big open mouth

teeth and tonsils
on show

sound that reverberates
with a deep sickness

a Toad
seeking daddies approval

is it really a boon to be uneducated
and be followers of its tragedy

to the detriment of healthy truths
to the denying of facts

to the worship of the wealthy
to the denying of Humanity?

no right turn
because you went left

now down the street
straight to the end

carrying your cross
and crosses can multiply

keeping on keeping on
staggering onward

you leave the moment behind
praying to be found, praying

darkness explored is darkness disarmed
even with one candle flame
