What the world needs
There used to be mossy banks around the trees, ferns among humus and leaves. Branches once fallen remain remembered on top. There used to be river stream down the hills. The free flowing drops of our souls, the shimmering destinies all bound together until the sea. Our ancestors were compelled to bow where joy used to spread some roots. It's now dry like the hearts that have shed their last tear. It's dry like the eyes that have bled their last blood. They've been soiled in the dirt.
If you put one life in a cage and smother it's cry of revolt, when you dont pay a decent wage, pretend it's someone else's fault, if you enslave a broken man,will it repair your fallen soul? only one to suffer from the rest is enough to condemn the whole. Training someone how to sing,and let the others compare so that they can all feel inferior find the burden kind to bear, you're conquering, destroying the world and you show no remorse, it does not need you now.
Leave this body old friend. For once let the buzzing circus of your stompin thoughts aside. Be quiet and listen to what the world needs to wrap in sounds, just be a part of the wave : the silence that we save, be what the world needs now. Live through this party old man, for once let the spring of your endless and anguished words run dry, be still and care for what others would try to shape in songs, just be a tiny role in the play : acting could replace the words you wanna say. Be what the world needs now.
Not here spinning fast, shattered hopes, splitted mind, voices in the walls swaying mildly, a slave behind the mask grinning gloomy fooling us, greedly, confused, breathing quietly.
There's a net with kind of meshes filled with darkest voids where sufferings are a point of sense and meditation doesn't help into my clenched fist I hold a rock, son of a bright moon and the sweetest salts it will keep me moving on, loving everyone.
I live by the cemetary the crows never look down on me they're not gruesome company. I'm wasting my youth at this factory. The system will crush what remains of me. For what remains of my familly, I will give an end to this insanity, I will make a change for decades to be I will break the chains of humanity.
