Strapped down
Unable to move
Away to the lands that are
New
See what you will
Understand what you can
But you will never be allowed to venture or stand
We are united in our ignorance
In the way we cant fathom
Any difference
We don’t want to understand
Instead exult in stupidity
It overwhelms us
And now we pity
Those that are able
To see what we cant
To take out their eyes
from the worlds slant
With its indifference to ugly
And its love of false beauty
Things that won’t last
And words that have passed
Their ability to Express
what is true
And their ingenious quality
of letting little else through.

Strapped down
Unable to move
Away to the lands that are
New
See what you will
Understand what you can
But you will never be allowed to venture or stand
We are united in our ignorance
In the way we cant fathom
Any difference
We don’t want to understand
Instead exult in stupidity
It overwhelms us
And now we pity
Those that are able
To see what we cant
To take out their eyes
from the worlds slant
With its indifference to ugly
And its love of false beauty
Things that won’t last
And words that have passed
Their ability to Express
what is true
And their ingenious quality
of letting little else through.
