Adoptious DenatureA Poem by Shannon
You say your going off
to fight in the war were most people don't know quite what they're fighting for some have been forced and some enjoy it To take the beautiful And just destroy it Who are we? To beckon to death To bring him round By ending a breathe And who are we? To pull the trigger Making deaths job A little bigger He's got all the help he needs Suicides, homicides "natural" deaths indeed Brought about by pesticides And still we fight This new ideal This new "right" Of high appeal Oh yes, appeal Can't you see? What you want isn't real Or is it just me? Why am i the only one Who thinks its about time To stop the run The endless rhyme A babble of the unconscious Slurred words and features Their nature is adoptious From incoherent creatures And you still just don't realize The fire that grows as i speak Reaching towards its prize Set upon humanities peak "Human nature"? Is that what you think? wall i say DENATURE! As i watch individuality shrink Now pull out the stops And end this NOW There you've got then "when?" Now all we need is the "How?" © 2010 ShannonAuthor's Note
