Fiery Frustration
Lives used as pawns.
A pillar to be knocked down when needed.
An object that no longer satisfies your agenda.
You tell us you are not the problem,
It is our neighbors, friends, and loved ones.
This is what you use to keep us powerless.
Keep us obedient to keep your authority, control, power.
You ignite a flame for a path in diseased light,
A false path; filled with confusion.
Light that shows the immediate distorted reality.
Reality that is mangled by pollution, mold, and rot.
Why must it be illuminated like this?
There must be a better path!
The shadows hide from this decay.
The shadows reveal a better path.
Why not follow this obscured alley?
Why should we follow this sickening light?
When it reveals a labyrinth of chaos and despair.
If this is what the future holds,
Then the route that is left hidden is superior.
It should be, it must be.
It will be,
When we assemble for the better.
Unafraid of those who lead in false grandeur.
