The Falsified Life

Friday may 15 1:36am

-----

His eyes burn right through me

Like a man abusing power

Glaring at us all as we be

And line by line we cower

 

Waiting for the next instruction

To move like another number

Down the product line of destruction

In our brainwashed martial slumber

 

Thrown to the proverbial pack of dogs

Given absolutely no hope

Treated like lifeless stones and logs

Abused to test the ability to cope

 

This game is never meant to be easy

A challenge that some can relish

With the innate emotion of being uneasy

Our corrupted minds we embellish

 

A group of nobodies taught to lose

Every piece of freedom they possess

Removed from the ability to think or choose

A mechanical life by way of duress

 

Taught to fight for a specific reason

Regardless if it’s wrong or right

Killing, this is the current season

Throughout the day and into the night

 

Number by number, without a name

We throw ourselves forward proudly

While we fail to realize the absolute shame

As our conflict clarifies it loudly

 

The shame of fighting to be free

When the cost is all too dear

Freedom is the ultimate plea

Loss of life the ultimate fear
