Shown For What It Is



Shown for what truth is.
And it exposed.
A doing of evil.
No one can deny,
The spreading of this...
Globally to know,
A doing to excuse...
An abuse to accuse,
Who did what to do this and that...
For reasons to begin acts to attack.
Without peace attempted to attract.

It will be shown to remain,
Historically a fact.
That peace to want and this to achieve.
Is nowhere near or close to minds,
Choosing their choice of weapons to use...
To run out of time to find themselves,
In the wish to miss...
Peace for what it is to seek,
Another way besides increasing to minimize...
Humanity.
Done to believe left behind to leave,
Picked exceptions to expect...
Whatever air on this Earth to breathe,
Will be available for the ones...
Building protection to exist,
Living underground.
As if to have found a version of peace.
Poisoned by their unconscious activities!

'Uh...
It's getting hot.
What happened to the electricity?
Without air conditioning.
Food to eat.
Air to breathe or impressions to make.
And possessions to pawn?
In case we need,
Our pretensions to continue on!'

'Now you mention impressions to make.
With not a plan to escape,
From what we've created.
To believe others gone,
Will one day praise and celebrate as if crazed.
Our victory!'

'Hmmm...
Who knew,
What truth is to be shown.
Would leave us alone.
To believe Earth to have known,
Now we can declare we own.
But nowhere is there anyone left,
Cheering to express their gratitude!?

Oh...
The woe.
Will little time left to address our regrets!'

'Tell me about it.
And put your clothes back on.
You have exposed enough as it is!'
