THE OPIATES OF MAN
TO CHASE THAT DREAM
SO IT POSSESSES YOUR SOUL
THE CREATION OF WEALTH
THAT BECOMES YOUR GOAL
TO THINK OF NOUGHT
BUT YOUR OWN SELFISH GAIN
BY SEEING YOUR FAULTS
BUT REFUSING THE BLAME
WHILE STRIVING FOR PASSIONS
THAT TAKE DAY AND NIGHT
AND EXPECTING PERFECTION
AS IF ITS YOUR RIGHT
IGNORING YOUR CONSCIENCE
WITH NO THOUGHTS TO APPEASE
TREADING ON WEAKNESS
AS IF IT’S DISEASE
HOLDING YOUR LINE
WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR NOT RIGHT
SPOILING FOR ACTION
EVEN IF IT’S A FIGHT
DEFILING NATURE
THEN EXPECT NO RETURN
WATCHING POLLUTION
WITHOUT SHOWING CONCERN
RUNNING AWAY
BEFORE PAYMENT IS DUE
PRETENDING ALL OF THIS
IS NOT DOWN TO YOU
FOR YOU ARE BENEVOLENT
NOW HERES THE SURPRISE
YOU JUST DON’T EXCEPT
WHATS BEFORE YOUR EYES
WHILE CLOUDED BY
THE OPIATES OF MAN
The Spider and the Fly
I’d hoped they’d live in harmony
The spider and the fly
But one of them was hungry
So the other had to die
For when a tummy rumbles
It really breaks the spell
Which seems to me a pity
They were getting on so well
Thought to Ponder – The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival. – Aristotle
