Ashes To Ashes

Ashes to ashes

dust to dust

today's people are angry

and its for violence they lust

blood being spilled

on earths very crust

with a system that's deafened

and no longer just

Is it too late

to change how men think

I hate that we're standing

this close to the brink

I can't put the blame

on the whiskey they drink

when it's the attitudes they're taught

that really does stink

Filled up with hate

riddled with fear

for that which is different

approaching too near

and they don't see the problem

that's one thing that's clear

seen in their favorite activity

their refusal to hear

Ashes to ashes

dust to dust

badges now tarnished

as if covered with rust

weren't these the people

we were taught to trust

why must the good shake their heads

in utter disgust
