While the people see,
the people know,
the people wait,
the people say,
the closing of your doors will never shut us out,
the closing of your doors can only shut you in.
We know the predator.
We see them feed on us.
We are aware, to starve the beast is our destiny.
The times they were kind,
they were polite,
but never honest.
We see your technological society devour you before your very eyes.
We hear your anguished cries exhalting greed through progress.
While you seek material advances,
the sound of flowers dying,
carry messages through the wind,
trying to tell you about balance
and your safety.
But your minds are chained to your machines
and the strings dangling from your puppeteers' hands.
Turning you, twisting you into forms and confusions
beyond your control.
Your mind for a job,
your mind for a TV,
your mind for a hairdryer,
you mind for consumption.
With your atom bombs,
your material bombs,
your drug bombs,
your racial bombs,
your class bombs,
your sexist bombs,
your ageist bombs
devastating,
your natural shelters.
Making you homeless on Earth.
Chasing you into illusions.
Fooling you.
Making you pretend
you can run away
from the ravishing of your spirit.
While the sound of flowers dying,
carry messages through the wind,
trying to tell you about balance
and your safety.
Trying to isolate us in a dimensions called loneliness.
Leading us into the trap.
Believe in their power,
but not in ourselves.
Piling us with guilt.
Always taking the blame.
Greed chasing out the balance.
Trying to isolate us in a dimension called loneliness.
Economic deities seizing power through illusions.
Created armies are justified.
Class systems are democracy.
God listens to war mongers' prayers.
Tyranny is here.
Divide and conquer.
Trying to isolate us in a dimension called loneliness.
Greed apparent.
Insecurity, the happiness companion.
Genocide conceived in sophist-o-cation.
Techno-logic material civilization,
a rationalization,
replacing a way to live.
Trying to isolate us in a dimension called loneliness."
