Swamp eyes
Stephen Knox 1970 (Bygland)
Who makes these rules for this world that we live.
Extracting from us things we never would give.
They’re tied to a time back far as it goes.
They have methods to control us that nobody knows.
Kemet, then Babylon is from which they did rise.
I see all they’ve done through heterochromian eyes.
Separate from those, that we think are in charge.
This group has grown smaller, but was never large.
The things I won’t tell of would give you a fright
Those that should know have been granted the sight.
The positive side of our nature will rise.
Letting us see them without their disguise.
The light that is coming, will show that their grift.
Must come to an end as the world begins to shift.
