GRASP

A world succumbed to dogma

The harbinger of doom

Turned to slave from Savior

Lord rolls over in his tomb

The land has lost its luster

The people – lost their way

The sheep just baat and pander

To theocracy and hate

Seven billion people

Sit still and wait to die

Bow before the newscasts

In the name of Jesus Christ

Manipulate Mohammed

Betray the Buddha - as a man

Turn Shia against Sunni

As fast as martyrs can

Carpetbaggers moving in

Selling wholesale freedom

Pipe dream manipulations

As they practice to deceive them

Alpha waves and beta states

Give way to Wi-Fi dreams

Point and click your life away

In hopes of greater things

Once proud and tall lay low in soot

In the aftermath of cunning

Deception for the masses

False flags for love of money

Fattened, hardened, enigmatic

Megalomaniacal men

Rob the life from every breath

Of bruised and battered man

And so all forward progress slows

Our blood powers their machines

We could stand up and topple them

But few will do a thing

Sooner or later truth will come

Force overdue collapse

But in the meantime

--- the dreams a nightmare

And we're caught up in its grasp
