v1

To the eyes of a world'
once to have seen another race in
discriminative eyes
Still in a society where two colours
worked together, on a black & white t.v screen
Nowadays they're made of numerous colours
to show all colours are beautiful'
As they all come as one

v2
In this art of words
we are not as royal
For only Kings and Queens
of our wickedness
How to command another
in this selfish intent
An extent of extending a short hand
of help
Perhaps even after to bite the hand
that feeds you
We'd feed on the hands
of those who are only useful in a moment
What's more then, for us to hold onto?

v3
We live our lives as an untrained spider
Trapped in our own web,
Lies, lies, and lies
And as the world spins-
We spin another thread

v4
Tears are of chlorine,
as I burn myself crying for a world'
It's pollution cuts my breath
as I snip another year of life I have left

v5
I must respect you for your opinion
what of mine
As your wrong is my right'
the right you believe, is something I can not conceive
I must respect you for your opinion,
my respectful opinion:
Fact and knowledge
