People are on the defensive,
To protect decadence.
Those in positions who speak publicly,
Have the power to speak with common sense.
And yet there is this feeling,
That showing power will convince...
The world should be ruled by fools who are cruel,
Just to prove they have depleted minds
Completely shallow!
Narrow, hollow and dense!
And Mother Nature is going to allow this destruction...
By showering survivors with wealth and floral scents?
While they join hands and skip along and dance,
Down a yellow brick road...
Protected by a white picket fence!
