we’ve had civilization’s rise,
civilization’s crumble
and the inevitable race we run
with our declining chance of wonder
chewing on words that’ve been taught,
prayers with no meaning
clinging on hopes created
to satisfy our being
philosophies debated,
as if spoken in native tongues
what has not been forgotten,
can never be undone
now throw us in the fire,
wait for skin to crawl,
speak to your master
as if you’ve seen nothing at all
so count all your senses,
I think you’ve lost one.
you’ve followed all false commandments,
you’re beaten, used, and dumb
tolerance is for the helpless,
command is for the meek,
live in skin that’s yours, not His
and question what You seek
