Eyes and Ears

Eyes and Ears 6/6/2013

It shouldn’t be a surprise
That men do evil
When they get everything they want
And never earned a thing.

Power corrupts
But men without a conscience
Are the worst of all
As they indulge their passions
Of hatred, jealousy,
And revenge.

And fear is the means
That changes everything
Because when men need money
Their loyalty is bought.

When your privacy is lost
Then everything you do
And everything you say
Is captured and recorded
For reasons unknown.

But even a fool should know
That it’s not about safety
Because how many can see?
That warnings go unheeded
Until after the murders
And after the bombs.

So what is the threat?
Of free thinking men
And what is the risk?
Of independent minds.

That is the question
That we must ask ourselves
As we decide
Who we are
And what we want.

Fear is a cancer
That grows on the inside
Slowly and silently
Killing us all.

Driving our thoughts and driving our words
As friends turn on friends
And even the strong
Succumb to depression, addiction
Or suicide.

But to lose fear
Is to live
No matter what happens
And no matter what is lost.

Hopelessness is the aim
Of the mindless drones
As they push every day
To control who we are.

I stepped out of the coffin
When I decided to live
And I jumped out of bed
The day I decided to believe
More carefree than ever
Without anything to regret,
Or lose.

Choose a path
That does not waste a day
Carefully considering
Where you go
And what you do.

Evil will be evil
Even though
They could change
But good shall survive
Through faith
And love.
