[bodytext] => We watch the world destroy itself as spectators We reap the benefits but don’t look for a cure Corrupted politicians selling their lies We just watch on with our glazed eyes Our friends are in on the heist But you say one word and you’re already a fascist We investigate the problem, Not the source It’s like we have no soul, We feel no remorse Have we finally breathed in the opium? Lighting the pipe is the man on the podium The trees burn with torches lit from hate You can live but better hope you aren’t anything but straight Schools filled with empty desks and unruly statistics These teachers shouldn’t know exactly what their fix is Spread your beliefs because it’s what they want Go off to war but hope you don’t come home haunted We investigate the problem, Not the source It’s like we have no soul, We feel no remorse Have we finally breathed in the opium? Lighting the pipe is the man on the podium We look down on minorities like we’re better Are we the majorities that know any better? Rivers bleed from our ignorance We smelt iron and have been drinking ever since We’re a country of faith and hope for the masses But mother nature is taking over and we’ve used all our passes We investigate the problem, Not the source It’s like we have no soul, We feel no remorse Have we finally breathed in the opium? Lighting the pipe is the man on the podium [comments] => 1 [counter] => 161 [topic] => 34 [informant] => Hades [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
