This is not enough
Give us more than lies
Sugarcoated with prejudice

"The rally rhymes ring true
Clack-a-doodle-do"

We have never been satisfied
We want more
We have wanted more
All the time

Young voices have whizzed past your years
You have not listened
Flashes of red have covered your shoes
You have closed your eyes
Words if worry have trembled in your throat
You have decided to keep quiet

Oh great monkey man!
Oh great monkey men and women!
Look at us!
We are you, crawling in the dirt
Look at us and we shall
Take care of everything.
The basis of justice is equality

All principles are enmeshed into a tight orb

Thus ignore not one and champion another

For them we bring all of them

To the exact same fall
When I was young
The lyrics of a song
Were what I made out of them

Didn't matter if
What I thought they meant
Weren't what they meant at all

Didn't matter if
Even I somehow felt that the song
Didn't fit in with my interpretation

Cause those songs were my own
The lyrics were mine
Or at they became so for me
If only for a little while.
Wonder why those high flown words
Of self love and acceptance
Always ends at the mirror
We are marionettes
Pulled together by invisible strings
And pulled apart by the same
Rolling in and out of love.
I woke up
Happy
Smiling
The wonder of last night's dream still lingering in my eyes
Thought
It will be a great day
But boy! Was I wrong!
Never knew that our love was nothing but an egotistical illusion
Never knew that the lack of validation
From people I thought I could care less about
Would matter so much.
