Same dirt different coffin

The meek and humble

Shall inherit the earth

But only after

I destroy it first

 

Love thy enemy

Love thy neighbor

Unless they are gay

Or have weird behavior

 

Funny how the bible says

Be meek and humble

And never better

Then the rest

But we all digest

The rich and powerful

And never let ourselves

Rest

 

We praise them as gods

While they poison us

We look at our neighbors

With disgust

The greatest lie

Is one hidden within the truth

So we read the Bible

But only skim through

We let the pastor tell us

What to do

 

Praise the rich

Praise the evil

Praise the ones on top

Your immigrant neighbor

Is the devil

Meddle in their affairs

But never care

Of the nefarious means

From the rich and powerful

 

The truth is

Being humble and meek

Is the way to live

But not on this power grid

Let them dine on our flesh

Let them poison our water

And dump all the rest

Let them seize control

Because they are greater

They're close to god

Because they're clearly on top

 

We are the weak

The pathetic

We are afraid

So we became stagnant

We turned our brains off

While they continued

To weaken us

Absolute control

This we've been told

 

We refuse to listen

We are afraid

Of death

We are afraid

Of nothing left

So we praise

The unafraid

And strong

The powerful

Who seem to belong

 

They don't

However

They are like us

Nobody is above

One another

We are all sisters

And brothers

Blood

Humans

Stupid

And in ruins

They are also afraid

More then any of us

They are so terrified

Of their Impending doom

Of life ending

Our life Force is only pending

 

That's human

We are born

And immediately consumed

In fear

The end is always near

The end being

Death

Our last breath

We still don't understand

So we create a master plan

Some say god

Some say spirits

Or trees

Whatever you want to believe

 

They say blood

Guts

Cannibalism

And poison

They say power

Control

Demons

On a stroll

They say ******

Succubus

Vampirism

And lust

They can't control

Death

So they control

Us

They can't be immortal

So they ****

Us

 

The absolute evil

Aren't devils

They're us

They're afraid

They're people

They're human

They're stupid

Flesh and blood

Filled with lust

And despair

Empty

On a golden chair

 

They preach a Bible

Down to the shackles

Of our town

They look down

And laugh

They mock

And torture

In ways

Our minds can't endure

No matter what they learn

What they control

 

They still don't know

Nobody knows

That's how it goes

We all die

And we all

Are afraid of why

 

They decided to live a life

Of power

And guts

Control

It's ******* nuts

This short life

I want to live

In light

Not strife

I want to delight

In love

And kindness

Freedom

Not blindness

I want to share

And explore the earth

Not despair

And watch it burn

 

But we're here

In this tortured world

We're here and I'm concerned

It'll never change

It'll be the same

Until we decide

To reclaim

Our own power

Our own joy

Stop letting these so called gods

Deploy

Mass destruction

On others joy

Stop letting the vampires

Consume us

Start fighting

Stop denying

Start trying

Stop the lying

 

I want

I want

To see

This world

It can't be

Make believe

Humans can't all be

Evil

Or am i

Still being

Deceived?
