Mentally Murdered
At the time of birth Minds free from suspicion Senses raped Induced with superstition A pre-set mode To benefit description Language, color Race definition Inner strength must detect The love we each possess Before we may reach Appreciating it in anyone else External distinctions Used as scapegoats to problems Channeling our aggression In the wrong direction Break down the barriers That enforce superstition Learn to trust Overcome suspicion Acceptance, the weapon Active against our freedom Our love and compassion Held at treason Rise above induced superstition

And integral sense Comes with belonging to a scene Supposedly absent of barriers (When sexism is only one of many) Earnest words Calling for unity of the sexes When she's still the chick, or stupid bitch (Ridiculed for showing an interest) Hidden indifference Strikes an emotion reaction When you see an animal being abused Yet unnoticed when a woman Is abused in the same way The links of oppression Stem from the same degradation But one our eyes are closed Actively abusing the rights of one Whilst fighting for those of another The 'scene' may hold a different name But the roleplay's just the same Equal rights are fine As long as she's in her place Outrightly denouncing fascism Whilst oblivious to it taking place Is condemnation of standards All an act of save face Unity a stark ambition When our abuse surpasses recognition

Your aspirations, unable to stretch Beyond the barriers of what's expected As the free thought you were born with Becomes externally polluted Lose sight of your ideals In their brainwashing institutions Predetermine your values To befit your substandard existence… Discouraging creativity To aim for empty ambitions Living up to others' expectations Takes hold of your assiduity Mentally murdered! The will to succeed Overpowers the will to resist Mentally murdered! Always up to the mark Set the wheels in motion A fake sense of security From your invariable position Sinking in the crowd A face minus expression A mouth that echoes words Recycled from tradition Your only contentedness Is in living a lie Mentally murdered! Do you possess the strength To re-create your own life? Mentally murdered?

Before my eyes I see a wall 12000 miles high And the same amount wide Within that wall are faces Of people To whom I could once relate Now communication seems hard When there's an ego barrier to break through Opinions of self-opinion Cloud a new horizon The vision a mere illusion Biased in conclusion Trapped in seclusion To the outside - exclusion When an attitude is so biased What can you expect to change? Banging your head But the walls are not moving It's enclosing Burning so much energy Enthusiasm burning Is change the 'real' obsession? Or with a sense of pretension Do you merely strive for credible attention???

What are your motives For your abuse What can they be? Accused of things I've never done This seems strange Your motivation, for my humiliation I'm pressurized So many times By your presence Your very existence Has become my obsession My infatuation with your damnation I experience Dangerous thoughts That are all too real How can one man Inflict in me So much hate My obsession with your destruction

So we're still in our teething stages As far as politics are concerned That's fine coming from someone To whom sensationalism be their only wisdom in words A self-proclaimed spokesman On something to which prior knowledge exceeds Championing no more censorship Then ridiculing our beliefs To appeal to your better nature Are we to keep our mouths shut? Easy to discard Constructive power At your disposal When egos and sales Outbalance opinions On the scales Using bands As pawns in your hands Building up Knocking down Sensationalize To suit cheap public demand Merging with the gutter press You claim to detest It's opened its lid For you to crawl in and infest
