A reason to prove
"They're beating plowshares into swords"Don Henley "The end of the innocense"
I spend more time watching movies, now,
Not because of a fear of reality,
Or even a strong desire of fantasy,
But because of the endless fiction,
That the television, news and yes,
Even movies are trying to feed me,
The skies are just as unpredictable,
As our paychecks,
But yet, we are ready to shed blood,
I will spare the comment of "don't get me wrong",
And get to the point,
Random has more consequence than reason,
But yet this is the way we choose to go, lately,
And for that, everyone looking for a better way to "defer" payment,
Including what is not ours, our soul,
I see the liar, but the lips have not moved,
I saw the thief, but all is in place,
And I've seen the disciples,
But fear is more present than pure defiance,
I ask this to the gathering of swords, yet still,
What and where is the reason to prove,
Beyond defense of a situation we cannot leave,
Beyond an open door we choose not close, lock or even repair,
The redemption of a name have the civil armed,
And the uncivilized more unclean than ever,
It's hard to play the pacifist,
Between the greatest warrior knows,
When and how to strike,
As well as the ability to see the big picture,
Like all great leaders and followers,
And yet all actions have been done by mouth,
And someone else's blood,
The easiest to influence, not control the masses will always be, fear,
Confusion is just a product of a job well done,
And that is the "smoke and mirrors",
That covers up thought and common sense,
And the result, well look around you,
It is amazing how a system of "belief structures",
Creates so many graves,
So many broken families,
So much retribution,
And very little time to forgive,
Well I guess it is true,
The hardest road of any is the one of forgiveness,
The sad thing about it is,
It is embedded in every "belief structure" there is,
The big picture always reveals,
The reason to prove,
And it is because of this,
You must always question,
Our modern needs,
The dancer moves without a trace,
