Lost

Yahweh promised a conquered land,

Domination over life--man against man

Mother Earth came to conflict with patriarchal powers

And eyes lit up with hierarchy fed desires

The spirit within--quickly became lost

In search of glory and power the rules of war were taught

The dogs, run wild, parting souls from lives

Bombs fragment, the Earth, leaving wounds in her side

The roots of perversion--so deeply planted

Man has become evil--peace and freedom tainted

Leaders ask their people to dig their graves deeper

No spirit of their own--they took heed of their keepers

Man finds himself trapped in aggression

He knows no other life but that of oppression
