A Righteous Death

A Righteous Death 11/28/2012

In a time of lies
The truth equals rebellion
And in a time of hatred
It pays to watch your back.

People do what they see
And people see what they want
And I can feel it
Every day
And in every way.

Life doesn’t always go as planned
And the world has its own madness
Mindless, horrific
Ignorant and

As a dog senses fear
So does the predator
Stalk his prey
Always looking for something
They can never produce.

If what you worked for is lost
What are you to say
And what are you to do
Nothing but a day dream
All used up
And washed away.

Reclaiming a life isn’t easy
But neither is truth
And many a rebel has been cut
Tortured and killed.

What is persecution
To regret
And what is glory
To a righteous death.

All men die
And all men suffer
But only a few
Will ever know
What it means to lose
And conquer.
