truth denied by all those feelings of insecurity we build another brick wall to bruise the ones who care to break through another blasphemy in an antiseptic world flush down your worries in alcohol put on the earphones to take in the rapture scan the skyline for a promised future sit back, relax, and wait for your soul to be captured the last scraps of past burned in the furnace the last scraps of dignity burned in the fervor new herds to feed on the fertilized pasture the truths we speak to the ones we meet is a pack of lies diversified by the sands of time wrapped up in a cloak of faith token gestures made in futility the mark of a holy man's humility outcast and bombarded by the world's precision bombs the world's brains removed with the cleanest incision war brought upon by your own division death heralded by the fool's decision captured fields on which to live your life your love your progeny next in line for the great big factory you are nothing to the world worthy to your eyes alone a riddle inside a dream whose answer is everything to you Written November 21st, 2001 © on Nov 21 2001 03:10 AM PST   20 • 0 • 9
