Sacrifice

Human sacrifice
Bread and mead and rice
Never had chance
Not really meant to last

Not a sacrifice
Lest we're suffering
Can't be really felt
By those without needs

Now they speak of all the things
That are wrong and what is needed
To bring them back to rest
To make it whole

But I doubt that all the kings
Really care about the bleeding
Just another sacrifice
To feed aristocratic souls

Still we carry on
TV drones along
Letting people know
Where it's needed most

So we go repent
With a dollar spent
Feeling no remorse
It could all be worse

If you have do you understand have not?
More than just intellectual sense
A bleeding heart doesn't mean that you thought
It would ever turn out just like this in the end

And you cry and you mourn for your brethren
And you weep like a baby and pray
Does it help you to wail? Even help you to fail?
Make you feel more a part of the day?

Not a clue what to give
What it means to just live
Day to day what are needs
Not a clue

And the TV just screams
Horrors, all broken dreams
Come to pass in my own
Living room

Sacrifice what he asks?
Needing to be told due to to true ignorance
Tell me I will take the task
Needing to be told when he has soiled his underpants

Later-E
