Losing Humanity

Darkened night I came cryin',
wanting you to save me.
i found you were lyin',
you can't save me.
Life in your hands
what shall it be,
shall i bow my head
and lose my humanity.

forked tounge of pride
pokes out their eyes,
blind leading the blind
It's you I despise!
for the world that
wouldn't let me be,
it stole my life-
and now my life

Life in your hands
what shall it be
shall i bow my head
and lose my humanity

they stole our innocence-
instealed within us pride;
a neverending circulation
of man locked up inside.
dealing with the passions,
all they teach is lust.
the norms have torn us down,
our minds turned to rust--
and i see

life in their hands,
you think you're free.
you continue the search-
but only He holds the key!
aimlessly wondering in a sea of hate
worrying about your life,
only seeing what you ain't.

Life in your hands
what shall it be
will you hold your head high
Can you see beyond me.

 "Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it."
Henry David Thoreau

Don't look... you might see.
Don't listen... you might hear.
Don't think... you might learn.
Don't walk... you might stumble.
Don't run... you might fall.
Don't make a decision... you might be wrong.
Don't live...you might die.

Great poem, and it read very nicely while listening to "In the Hall of the Mountain King"
Anywho, great poem, wish I had time to read and reply to more... damn school.

 "Sa souvraya niende missian ye." \
I am lost in my own mind.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great,
And would suffice.
-Robert Frost

This is very good, I especially liked the phrase *forked tongue of pride*. You've done a great job on this. Be cool.

Please take me somewhere far
Far away from this world of mine*
