Zombies of the System


Vicious wolves are growling

Hunting you down and making you drown.

Attacking the air you breath

and all you see, 

Suffocating your soul with seemingly endless torment

they're sheep

Just following the crowd.

Their power is only in being loud.

You

 

Are the shepherd

You lost control.

Take it back

Before they attack.

Their strengths are only as strong as your weaknesses.

Your mind has power to think,

To destroy,

But don't destroy

Help them.

For they know not what they do.

They are zombies of the system

Sheep following a corrupt lead,

But their wool,

When pure

Is fine
