Delusion of an Illusion
From the hyenas' mouth we are born,
Awakening to a coy mothers smile.
For she serves us up to a world,
Feasting on a main dish of innocence,
Lost forever.
Filling the stomachs of madmen,
Lapping up happiness as a delicacy.
Cry my children,
For they hear the baas of sheep;
Who will one day line their pockets
Off the sweat of our brow.
Fake philosophies to fill our head,
As we march to our deaths
Chanting;
Under a visage of freedom.

As strong as the storming gale,
As confident and radiant as the shinning sun,
As mysterious
