Don't You Know

by Matt Wynne.......Leo - Not entered

don't you know
in the silence of a thousand faces
of a life lived too long
don't you know
that this line's the best

don't you know
reaching around to remove it-to cauterise
this wound dealt in a back-stabbing passion
don't you know
that this crime's the best

all of their hard and sweet pretty smiles
forced upon faces not use to the back breaking labour
don't stop running and running around and down that stair
of mankinds self-destruction, it's all we know how to do

but hey motherfucker, do we have to be that way
we ask the prophet, beard white and wisdom's eyes answer
it's what we are made to fulfill,
we are hatred and jealousy,
we are the serpent in eden,
we are the end of this cycles road

don't you know
when oceans boil and mountains crumble
and hell rises to consume the earth
mankinds heaven on earth realised
don't you know
that that reality's the best

Reason for writing:

    The hateful nature of mankind.
