A perfect murder, they are dead, killed in action.
Pretending to care about the bodies they ruled
Every day and night since birth, until a faction
Realised they were parasites within the fooled.
Fooled by their own brains that can recreate new realms
Excepting the tools to understand ’tis a game
Concocted to whelm, as it later overwhelms
Thoughts to believe with a straight face and then proclaim
More of the same in most organised religions
Underhanded from the start like a tall preacher
Reaching to the stars while looking for more pigeons
Defending the old custom of a mind bleacher.
Everyone will die sooner or later, my friend
Reacting one way or another to the end.
