How Long?

How long will I endure this cruel life
wrapped with worries, hate and pride,
slaved by violence, terror and fright
in which my dreams are losing sight?

How long will I crawl, struggle and fight
to rest this soul in peace and light,
my heart in love of purely white,
to lay my head in cool new heights?

How long will I sing songs of hope
while I hear them laugh and tease me "goat",
my neck in their minds tied with rope,
hit with stones as big as a soap?

Man, is this a plague or a disease?
Is this the curse of judas' kiss?
Wherever I look, I can see the bend,
a society destined for maniacal ends.
