scream...

scream the mouth of sight and hear...
the masses drink their hate and
spit their love...ignore the call of
bird, slap the face of nature...

believe ye not the teenage nonsense,
listen instead to the whispers of the
dead...they speak the life of truth,
they speak the death of lie...

upon ur children love give all,
eat ur nothings, say ur somethings...
all is not lost when love you show...
unleash ur forgiveness, free ur light,
upon gold of wing and flurry of
feather, live not ride the ride of life...

blood spilt and heart demolish...
family weep and pocket flourish...
raven caw, scream of crow,
notice how u never grow...
not wrong is that which do u?
ask not what see u taboo...
enlighten dark with breath of light...
forgive thy neighbor, free ur flight...

all is lost in this place, ur adolescent
mind can not hear, how can u
presume to more enlightened be?
fill ur cup with nonsense and hate, spill blood,
empty of love ur heart of silver, pierce the skin
with sword of fallacy...

love ur capital, hate ur community,
doomed to fail where team u haven't...
never can u the sacrifice of those before u know,
never open of eyes shall u...never open of mind shall u...
life of ignorance, bliss of pain, may i have some more?
live...liberty...loss...and then...wake up!

scream the mouth of weep and betray...
