Emergence - Derelict

When all signs point towards the catastrophic

The time for timid acquiescence has passed

Ascended logic and the proven truths of science

Must challenge all folly, distortion, and lies

Raised to buy into systemic corruption

Withheld education, enslavement en masse

The indicators of this failure in vision

Are clearly unfolding in front of our eyes

From economic perspectives and interests, we must be firm and selective

But one may call to attention the fact of the root monetary social construction

Wide-eyed

Solemn

To carry on in total denial

Would be emblematic and typically «us»

A fundamental devolution of perceptions

Could crumble the balance to ashes and dust

Find the strength to overcome this abyss

To conquer greed, hate, and pettiness

To transcend animalistic existence

Scoff the words of the brash and intolerant

Cast off the chains of dependence

Become the change you’ve always envisioned

Stake a claim, for this is your planet

This is our home
