The Irony of Man - Pelander

The irony of man

We must stay together

But we laugh in the face

Of the wise

We criticize our brothers

Don’t listen to the others

We have ears

But we cannot hear

Ignorance our leader

Bitterness we feed her

We have eyes

But we cannot see

Spirit of our fathers

They knock upon our shoulders

But we’re too afraid

To turn around

So your insecure security

Makes you feel so comfortably

You must say what you will

But you only hide away

In your mother’s womb

You repeat what you’ve already done

It would take a long time

To face mankind

But we must stay

Lead ourselves to the grave
