Collective Sound


The ignorance will never lessen When we thrive on cultivated misconceptions The scars will remain And the roots will decay As diseased thoughts rot the foundation Our hearts can only shrivel up Like love deprived raisins Because the water has been tainted From hatred that burns in the sullied tears Of those who are discriminated Rise up against those who try to divide us They are nothing but a machine Cloned from a corrupt mind An unfeeling copy of a human being Those who try to leave others frozen Too scared to react Cut off from the defrosting We find in human contact These faceless, nameless entities Only seek domination Gaining wealth without conscience And find it in our separation Because they know the consequence Of the passion in our connected minds When the pain of a lifetime Is seen threw another's eyes We must stand as one With a collective sound That bounces off their hollow chests And resonates through the ground Each and every one of us Has their own imperfections When we are categorized And divided into sections But we can ascend all limits When our body overlap Because with hands intertwined We can fill all gaps
