Lower Levels



Committed.
To being limited and mentally restricted.
At lower levels.
With nowhere to go.
Although,
Easily manipulated to persuade.
A thoughtlessness homemade.
Became useless to attempt thoughts to save.

Soaking in a mocking ordered.
Taught to teach and follow.
Leaving their minds left hollowed.
For images implanted,
To replace common sense.
Implemented to resist,
A thinking process gone not to miss.

Threats to fear...danger!
Coming from strangers not to appear.
With images created to make,
Everyone prepared to see them.
With images created to make,
Neighbors, family and friends...
Looking at each other with suspicion.
Accepting to avoid a familiar recognition!

Made afraid in a game successfully played.
To do unto others first.
Like zombies worshipping to be cursed.
Made afraid in a game successfully played.
To do unto others first.
Like zombies on the loose,
Thirsting for the taste of hatred.
And not the love or the feeling to be hugged!

Restricted.
To lower levels of a consciousness,
Committed.
And as if zombies.
Mentally removed from love.

Thirsting for the taste of hatred.
Home-made.
That taste for hatred.

Thirsting for the taste of hatred.
Home-made.
That taste for hatred...
Only those on lower levels love.

Thirsting for the taste of hatred,
Only those on lower levels love!
