Modern Day Redemption



How does a Spineless society stand?
On a foundation made of sand..
A mason's feeble bricks crumble,
in preparation to devour,
loud echoes as the belly of the beast rumbles..
Hellbent on protecting,
the fruits of their labor..
Demi-gods sent a savior..
To establish an order,
that they call a favor..
Policies based on freedom,
resemble slavery,
victims of hazing..
we revolt with chariots blazing,
Delivering true light,
to the obscure..
Redeeming the lost,
as we plunder the riches..
Alluring Eyes widen,
a spineless society can stand on the backbone of Redemption..
