Faceless against Oblivion

Ever envisioned a future
devoid of hate and hypocrisy,
where blatant apologies
came from guilty rulers?

That same universe was full
of people wearing faces,
forced to select from emotions
on a regular basis

Willing to murder in the name
of safety or religion
Our minds are shattered by hate,
a mental demolition

Shaking the very foundation
of our moral dilemma
Objectives handed in spades
with a corrupt agenda

The enemy of my enemy
is a ‘frenemy’:
a friend I never wanted
but needed this final century

Now striking iron for profit
we’re unable to claim
and risk to lay in a coffin
chiseled with “Rest in Shame”

We crave to show our emotions
at metal institutions
and purchase masks that are
synthesized for silent humans

All due respect,
don’t pay or settle for a single face
’cause at the end of the day,
we’re just a single race

Right from the mouth
of our appointed leader:
“Sacrifice liberty for security,
and you deserve neither!”

Oblivion is upon us,
quick to bring you the storm,
but never face it alone
because we’re uniform.
