Hypocrites(Low Point)

Folder: 
Thought For Food

killed socrates and you said no child's left behind

drop a bomb and say it's liberation

being pro life and pro war

being pro choice, making all these rules



my self determination's on winter break

and nuclear winter's setting in

so press the buttons already, stop bluffing



..these generations are hopeless...



these generations are hopeless,

is the best hope if we annihilate eachother?

flatten all the huts and mansions

yes the mansions, for once



would adam and eve bite the apple?

if it's adam and steve it won't matter

but at least they'll be free till they die

and meet this whole world of hypocrites  again



say god is love, only hate the sin

but in your black and white world it's us versus them

say god doesn't exist but you worship idols

you probably think this puppet's the savior



the self esteem, your leadership is give and take

they have to give for you to take a piece

and why would they give you anything when you protest that way



..these generations are in line...



these generations wait in line,

though the best hope was if we washed the boundaries and chalk lines

but the conservative changed it all

and the liberal is keeping course



well, well, well



well i have no remorse for what i'm about to say

but it serves no point to the deaf, dumb and blind

so let's just all drink up the chosen flavor of koolaid

and get this jonestown earth raptured already



ah,

why do we always have to leave a drop behind?



killed socrates and you said no childs left behind

drop a bomb and say it's liberation

being pro life and pro war

(drop a bomb on your house)

being pro choice, making all these rules

(abort yourselves)



my self determination's on winter break

"Adam and Steve"

I howled. Circular argument I recall from Rhetorical Logic. Futility as a theme. Hmmmm... Pro life/warrior. nice irony. Each generation rises from the ashes if the one previous searching for the new thing not under any sun. ~A~

Wow

I totally forgot I had written this one. Thanks for reviving it, for me (and, as much, for your thoughts). Reading it now, I'd not realized I'd penned such strong words on our desire to fiddle along the ledge of destruction rather than just make the full jump, back then. I can hear my age at the time, in it, reading anew, for sure heh.

 

Futility certainly does seem to be our central theme as civilizations. Maybe not so much as individuals, on a case by case basis, but as a unit, I've little doubt. No doubt, actually ; )
