Something Complex

Fires still burn

Winter brings snow

Life is still hard

Esteems are still low

The sun still shines

Liars still lyin'

Disputes still over death row

But those're things we all know

 

Amicable people are overlooked

Words of wisdom are now mistook

The world modifies how one should live

While taking all and failing to give

Freedom was taken from the innocent

Discretion discouraged among youth

Restrictions are waiting for deliverance

Is this opinion or is it truth?

 

True and False

Basic answers

Offered to the application

of complex situations

Now our current occupation

Is falsifying the truth

With morality on a noose

And conformity in a booth

Spreading songs of toxic unity

Classes fight rulingly

Peace awaits unassumingly

Doubt we'll ever get the truth that's due to thee

Opinions living so blindingly

What's this all really mean

Church and science hypothesize shiningly

But only time has actually seen
