A bundle of peace and love
Secrets and whispers kept locked away
For our own safety
Their own safety
By hiding the truth
By black mailing
Threatening to go to war
To take out ones people
For peace and love
We fight
The same fight that will never lead us to such a thing
Cloud burst
Centuries of networking gathering
To build what will destroy us all
To deny our history
For so called peace and love
Once again
The way one lies to oneself
Validating your actions for such things
Peace was never an option
But always a lie
A false dilemma
A way to trick the mind into believing
Into believing what’s right and wrong
To keep those who have always been down, down
For the higher ups to always sit nicely and lavishly
Cloud burst
A beautiful term that doesn’t even come close to the beauty in ugly
From the killing of our home, to our people, to our daily lives
To be the only creatures who needed a system and way of life to live
A rain that will never stop
That will never pass away for as long as we live
When true happiness becomes a lie
A dream, a fantasy
When pain and suffering is all there is
Born into it and die from it
To believe that we our helping ourselves with systems
With folktales, hostility, more than just scum
To believe this was the best we could do
To believe this will always stay the same
Because some things never really do change
A way of saying we’ve done it again
Ruined what we have left
To think that we were so close
An uneven start from the beginning
Creatures that will perish in time due to ones doing
Our doing
Living far more than just a horrible utopian world
For our start has never truly begun
