The Human Essence


Humanity in it's essence Is held to a pause No more touch No more connection Voices gain power in numbers The numbers have diminished This is not a time for change This a hault Or is it Will the populace get stir crazy And defy the order Will the people rise up once more Or will our eyes be forever closed From dust to ashes From ashes to salt The tears of contempt Lay forever in the wind What is truth What is false What is propaganda Look to H1N1 Look to past epidemics What makes this different I say question everything Don't forget your individuality In confinement Stand up and obey for now But, don't forget your gravity
