We have lost our understanding in such themes As love, freedom and truth in life, That we commonly reject them without hesitating And resolve that we must forever be prey ...to delusion of mind. Soon that delusion turns to fact And our minds become corrupt, The disease of lies that fills the lack Of simple knowledge… The tongues of men and their subtle ways, Catching throngs by surprise Sucking false words into darkness they stray, Holding to heart those well said lies. They turn a blind eye to the obvious lack Of justice and of truth, They don’t want to see their pretty world crack To crumble and fall as they die… in a wasted land. A wasted land to a wasted life And empty shallow state A void of sense, just pain and strife Burning inside with hate. Walking through the desert of their minds The tortured ache of their parched souls Lacking the waters of truth Glassy stares, hearts turned cold Thus is the life of young and of old Living in the world of today Bleeding and broken one strand of life they hold Throwing their lives away Someday we will have a world Where love will reign again Where smiles through tears will be seen And we’ll have joy instead of pain --Delusion of mind
