“The Race”

I heard there was a place
Where we’re all one race
Colour, gender, age never could dictate

I saw there was a time
When we valued all life
Nobody oppressed; Everyone had rights

Suddenly,
in an age where the distance between us is binary,
All we see
Is an internal war
Friendly fire in the sky and respect on the floor

Constricting like a heart attack
A mythomaniac
on the loose in the streets
Blood boiling with the burning heat
of caustic defeat
Now there’s no turning back

Ha! So we laugh while the tides all turn
Melting grey matter
Voluntarily slaves

Always searching for the one real truth
So we can misconstrue it
To suit our needs

Ingesting operant conditioning
Divine contamination
like lye on flesh, it stings
Trust your leaders, trust the system
Reproduce, repeat.
Never question authority, never suspect deceit!

Always on the run
Can’t remember where we’re running to
Or what we’re running from
But we’re picking up speed
All the books and broadcasts? Jettison!
Without their burden
True ethics are freed

Extract the labels that lobotomize
And you’ll realize
We are all one.
Fly or swim, fur or skin,
We’re alive, abolitionists rise!

Constricting like a heart attack
A mythomaniac
on the loose in the streets
Blood boiling with the burning heat
of caustic defeat
Now don’t go turning back
