We The People
I know that you know that We The People
are smarter than the sovereignty.
What do they know that we have not already
concluded?
The thing about the hierarchies goes back
to the first organizations of life itself.
The survival of the fittest.
Or is it the most evil that survive?
Above the law is a realm all to itself,
man's wicked capacities fueled by wealth.
Thinking critically, let’s take a closer look:
We are the aliens in this universe.
Aliens to everything that exists.
Do we really believe that there is something out there
more superior than us?
If anything, Earth is where all the gods reside.
Right? Give a mortal man control
and watch him become a god.
Life or death, the choice is yours to make
without preface or preamble,
without anything at stake.
Do it because you can.
Benevolence doesn’t rise to power,
it's all about now – the next second,
or in the next hour,
Control is everything;
blinded respect for authority,
no man is perfect,
only is he in his own eyes.
Millions perish. The corrupt stay corrupted.
The conquest to vanquish all
and to make the rest bow
down
and kiss the ass of yet another
demented human being.
