Crash Course
I sit dumbfounded
by your arrogance unveiled
you paint the world
with your own thick brush
blur lines
between cultures,
traditions
personal freedom lost
so we all become blind followers
of the Western ideal
cover girl clones
you want us to breathe
the fetid air you expel
spent, lifeless, carbon copy
drones
repeat after you
’til we become faded photos
in the back of your scrapbook
a trophy, dismembered
and hung on your wall
you can’t comprehend
living and dying for a belief
framing a life with the words
of the Lord of the Worlds
following the best of mankind
step by step
you cannot grasp
the strength of knowledge
the certainty of truth
the spark stays lit
ages passed, trials faced,
it dances, flashes outward,
burns true
keep your false promises
bloody ideologies
to yourself
the truth we are upon
stands firm
’til the Earth’s burdens
are set free
