not really happy with it all that much but i'm bored


The monsters crawled out from under the bed
and hid in our tv's
whispering tales of fear
and manufactured images into your ear
compulsive liar
and bearer of false realities

the boogeymen gathered together
and put on suits and ties
trading money
trading lives
of people like you and me
wallowing in their greed

the wolves whispered into the ear
of the village idiot
attaching the strings
stealing the children
putting guns in their hands
filling their heads with lies
and then turning their backs
when the question turns to 'why?'
standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way

    If it's a work in progress, do you want me to just read it, or do you want constructive criticsm?
