The World Without Thought

When inspirarion is a dream
and thoughtfulness, a crime.
Freedom there will never be
thus hospitality declines.

Prayer is just a word
and faithfulness is gone.
When intelligence means nothing
and there's no beauty left at dawn.

Friendships crumble
as morality declines.
Some corrupted figureheads say,
"Well everything's just fine."

As fatality rates go up
and peace gets left behind
somewhere there is the truth
that no one will ever find.

Reason becomes treason
and kindness is a flaw
It will shock one to discover
that they've done away with law.

When what's right becomes conspiracy
and for justice there's no fight.
security, and purity
will not save us from out plight.

When lies run rampant
and honesty is disturbed
That's where you'll find me
with my virtues undeterred.

There was a body in the gutter,
and a blood stain in the street.
She was once a friend of mine,
that I guess you'll never meet.

My neighbor's house caught fire
and my cousin, well she was mugged
My best friends dog was stolen
and we found out it was drugged.

My uncle passed away
and my grandmother cried
It just makes me wonder,
"How many others died?"

I find out that I am next
I jolt awake with a scream
I lie alert and think
"Thank god it was just a dream."
