Down

Its Raskolnikov

Down,

Why do we destroy everything?

So many want to drown,

Do you hear that sound?

Look around,

Do you see that body on the ground?

 

Do you recognize the love you've lost?

Do you want to walk the path of frost?

Do you know the cost?

 

Have you stolen the crown?

The monarchy's down,

Come around,

Is the world lost?

Life is a stage and we're all just actors,

Are we starring in our own holocaust?

So many factors,

These politicians play like they can fix it all themselves and we believe them,

We're mindless drones,

The mosque, synagogues, cathedrals, and more,

They say they provide a home, 

But they're an imprisoning dome,

Savage dogs, 

You can see their mouths foam,

 

We tell each other of the world's hogs,

Yet we spend all our time giving it to the dogs,

Have they mastered us?

Can we no longer see through the fogs?

Have we lost?

So much cost,

Just for a few thoughts,

They make us pay,

They say they want free thinkers in the new age,

They've lied to us in this way,

They've locked us in a cage,

We see the man with the keys,

He says, "What the matter, think I'm a sage?

You were warned this is what would happen if you came with me!

If life were a book, this would be your last page!"

 

Dry your tears, 

This may not happen this year,

But no more fears,

From here on out

we travel freely,

Keep your doubts,

No more frowns,

Just fight to keep your freedom,

No one needs to hold the crown,

Defeat the tyranny!

Beat it down!

    So, Ras, you 'just started writing'? And the result is something with a lot of food for thought. Well done!
