Only Beats In The Bars

It starts with one

Then as it grows, so do you
Carried away in it too

Explain it, another time for me
What we all used to be
Hearts roaming, simply free

Now, we all just want more
Another reason for war
To chill your heart's core
Really, what do we fight for

It's a miracle we can survive
In this hell hole, remain alive
Left and right, kill and connive
So ready, we are, to deprive
Anyone so we can thrive

Sell your soul, the last of tricks
To avoid the last of conflicts
Scared right? Such pain it inflicts
Who saw knives in this deadly mix
Work your mind, hear the clicks
That deadly beat to transfix

When the finale comes, what then
Run and hide, like the least of them?
Pray to sun, the skies, heaven
As like leaves fall, so do men
Women, children, once again
Peace? It's coming soon? When?
When a hare survives in fox's den

Step back and speculate
How loud we have become of late
Locked in this mind state
Running away from our fate
You can't block that heavy gate
That stays open in quiet wait
Every minute will simply generate
Just another form of hate
