Defeated. Defeating.
Heroism is a myth; we are all to blame for what will come and what has passed
defenders of freedom/ killers, rapists
and I, the common man
feed into this evil, suffer through their lies
butchers let to live another day in man’s disguise
Go on donning white, but our luxuries paint the sky black
we all stand by as burning tears coat the earth
we all watch on as we exterminate all that we are worth
our children’s cancer, brought by insatiable greed
there’s an answer to these problems, but its assumed too far out of reach
give up this life of excess; give up but what you need
if there is a sin, it is the birth of another child
if there is a good, it is lost
if there are happy endings, we deserve them last
and if we want any change we will learn from our past,
or this world will burn and descend into madness.
