illusions of the mind


Lets take a trip into my mind, Let us see what we can find, Journey to the cortex Sleepless nights looking to the stars Wondering about life on mars My eyes are windows to the world Yours are blind You search but never find Praying to a god that is a facade You want more but don't deserve You pitty those who serve Laugh as they work for you All you do is misuse Open your mind See the beauty of mankind We kill everyday, because there are some who do not pray How can this be we are like a disease Spreading lies, cutting off ties You say we are all different This is true but we are also the same Most of us die in vain Those who believe different are called insane You cast the first stone Yet it is you who will die alone We are inevitably destroying ourselves Genetically engineered food Killing the youth, destroying truth Fathom and disease Starving, they are to weak to even walk on their knees The people who are supposed to protect Sit there and neglect While they increase their checks Only the strong survive We are supposed to be a hive Working together But all we want is pleasure Increased debt Living lives of regret We need to free our minds Not with drugs, or by shooting a 12 gauge slug Learn to appreciate instead of hate Give instead of receive Help when you see the weak Instead of turning the other cheek Build instead of destroy Combine instead of conquer My back may be weak but my mind is strong So I continue to hold on Hoping we can prolong I live in myself I will die in order to help The illusions are real No longer in my mind What I see is the death of mankind
