Scarred

This is a poem I wrote to all the sheep who hide in the mainstream who are all to brainwashed to think for themselves. Enjoy!

Hide behind your little friends
All your f*****g fashion trends
You see how your own time is done
Before your life has even begun
Separate the goats from sheep
You better stop before you cut too deep
Meld your mind in with the masses
Life is only seen in flashes
I’m hearing what you’re telling me
But empty bullshit’s all I see

Stupid fads and hollow styles
Rule your life and all the while
I see how things really are
On the face of life, you’re just a scar.

Constantly lying through their teeth
While you eat the s**t they feed
You act upon their impulses
While your heart inside convulses
Are whitened teeth and empty smiles
Valid reasons for denial?
Giving in and getting nothing
Thinking that there must be something
Something that is worth the pain.
Please don’t tell me it’s all in vain!

Stupid fads and hollow styles
Rule your life all the while
I see how things really are
On the face of life, you’re just a scar.

Hands made for tools of power
Put in shackles by the hour
All for one and none for all
Is their constant battle call
Mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters
All lined up prepared for slaughter
Eyes glossed over and sedated
All tell me you never made it
I don’t give you a second glance
Shoulda joined me when you had the chance

Stupid fads and hollow styles
Rule your life all the while
I see how things really are
On the face of life, you’re just a scar.
