writing on quick sand edge of teasing mysteries
covert secrets sealed deleted pages histories
power pulls political strings wears mask faces
determines fate of ethnic groups commoners empires
who is taxed who is waxed in next round game of fist wars
control global wars own weapon making industries
total profits written in black and white greed caps highlighted in bold
death destruction lives destroyed maimed bleed out leaking dripping blood
is a clean omission never entered in red annual report balance page
creating lucrative market profit with each fresh raw hate crime war started
skull and bones steals freedom skies battlefields claims in shattered limbs
people renounce personal authority responsibility delete words good or evil
replace with watered down diluted escape sinless OK and bad
an explanation might be angels love protect us live in divine light
demons satanic loathe detest humanity persecute causing misery
when psychopathic power systems rule people civilizations suffer ill
desire of virtue to live a good life is lash shattered by adversity strife
observe death cults minds power good evil impact on innocent people
dictators dominate societies rule iron grip absolute control power halls
demand ultimate human sacrifice cities bodies reduced to lifeless ash
explain reasons intuitive intelligent people chose cruelty torture wars
why is written on edge frustrating said to much haven't said enough
if it is true life is a choice between morality right wrong love hate
breath global journey then etched on faces are soul choice decisions
