Stuck in complacency Facing calamity Suffocating disillusionment is near Can’t you see that, my dear? In demons you find The strength to fight The human trait That gave power to fate Greed or hunger A malingering farce That’s claimed your heart Will forever linger The worth of pretense It’s sometimes the only defense To claim you really are that dense So you can stay on the fence Recognition is the price For a freedom to sacrifice Shallow depths to drown In waters all your own Go for submission And spare the false contrition You’re free to instill A truth A worldly one, if you will
