Dark Water

I drank in dark water

and my soul blackened.

I have been baptized

by darkness.

My eyes shed

the blindness

and now I see.

Demons surround us,

they rule the world,

there is no escape.

They control the direction

of the winds,

they control the world.

They feed us lies

and we call them philosophies.

They entered our minds

and our hearts

and we called them gods.

They offer us happiness

but no tomorrows.

We gave them love

but they don't give love back.

They keep us

in chains

made of fears and superstitions.

They made us

their slaves

but some of use are too dumb,

blind to see.

We are sheep

going to the slaughter,

willingly.

We say, we are on top of

the food chain

but they are above us,

demons love to feed

on us.
