Oppression


Threatened by the men who feed the fire

We are all victims of society

Tainted by lust, hunger, and desire

We are all enslaved under tyranny

 

Entities of dark shadows roam the streets

Stuck inside a world of greed and hatred

Undistinguished of what are wants and needs

Planting seeds inside a demon's matrix

 

Forever unaware of what is true

The days of intellect have fallen slim

Living with an unconscious point of view

We fall apart because we worship him

 

Against our will, we succumb to such fraud

The only thing left, a miserable God

<p>Too many people are unaware of the untruthfulness in government. Too little people raise their voice to say what they actually think. We have all been lied to, and the dishonesty needs to be eliminated.</p>
