Chaos in closed rooms
Boardroom disrepair
Minds set fast and hard
Look into your own yard
Tear down to start over
Lose what you value true
Will the eyes really see
Take for granted you are free
Nowhere to appeal
Violence is so real
Unnerved by visions
Scorned by derision
Life goes on
Strong and weak
Walking arm in arm
Side by side

Stories of living big
Stories of living strong
Running wild
You may recall
Leaning walls begin to fall
Living in your heart
Clamoring for your soul
Preying weak
You may recall
Leaning walls begin to fall
Angry words are the norm
Selfishness rules the day
Telling lies
You may recall
Leaning walls begin to fall
Caught on tape
Names and dates
Distorting facts
Accusing acts
Lies are fast
Lies are strong
Leaning walls begin to fall

Angelic face
Smiling in your doom
Reaching toward
A non existent room
Spilling secrets
Spilling wine
Forever embracing
A real good time
Angelic face
Stubborn in your fate
Experimenting wildly
Not finding a single trace
Of satisfaction
Within your life
Settling down
Means selling out
Disproportionate roads
Traveled and beaten
Love tangled nights
Shredded or cleaven
Idealistic thoughts
Driven to the core
Searching for discussion
Always wanting more
So when they found you
Cold
Wet
And all alone
Your angelic face
Peaceful and shorn
Eyes closed
As if in a dream
Smiling sadly
As if you have known
Have you found
Your new home?

What you need
Dead on the streets
What you need
No water to feed
What you need
Dust bowls run dry
What you need
Don’t ask why
What you need
Fields are bare
What you need
Paved everywhere
What you need
Air waves full
What you need
Out of control
What you need
Streams overflow
What you need
Hurricanes do blow
What you need
Streets filled with guns
What you need
Having fun
What you need
Laws everywhere
What you need
No buyer beware
What you need
They want your life
What you need
Armed strife
What you need
What you need

In a world where macho reigns
Where tough guys finish first
Where lies and deceit
To get ahead
Tilt a playing field
That believes in hurting others
Where nothing matters
But
Testosterone driven ego
Where self sacrifice
Is only important
If you end up on top
Where patriotism is fueled by
A taste of money
And death is the preferred end
For the unbelievers
It’s not about
Working together
To build
But about seizing
By force
What you desire
Is this
Higher society?

With a pencil and paper
An eye for seeing
Random connections
Joining thoughts
To create code breaking entities
Leading to greater desire
To break stronger codes
You rose to the top
Seeing clearer than anyone else
Denied again and again
Heartbreak followed you
Wherever you did go
Not given rank
Not given station
Not given credit
For the work you did
Having your work stolen
By a man
After you were classified
Sworn to secrecy
And never acknowledged
You held your dignity aloft
You lived a life of sacrifice
To make this world
A better place
Despite the indignities
Forced upon you

This was developed using words ending in ology. A sentence was written on each ology word's meaning. It is totally random and done without pre planning or thought other than what comes straight to my mind. One or two sentences were moved around to create a better flow, otherwise it is in the order the ology words were first put on paper.
Grouped together in ancient ways
Doesn’t matter what anyone says
Telling lies til they become truth
Praying to a higher source for some proof
Really believing it’s got nothing to do with you
Refusing to apologize because it's not what you do
Looking for guidance in a higher place
Putting on a pretty face
Destroying the world with each embrace
Mind games played without a trace
It’s not what you were born to believe
Looking for thoughts to conceive
Breaking stones with which we live
Wanting to receive more than give
Staying hydrated on a sereing day
Flirting with death every way
It’s getting on your nerves
A cancerous growth hurts your verve
Living life can be a dangerous dirge
Earth shattering if you will
Water retention has had its fill
Do things in the order they occur,
Keeping secrets to preserve what we were
An open mind helps in life
Staying up to date would be nice
Being perfect is not a sure thing
Following the money is where disaster will spring
Heredity always wins
No chance to live life again

Oh sweet jesus
Won’t you walk along with me
Oh sweet jesus
Won’t you walk along with me
I need your company to keep me
From feeling misery
Oh sweet jesus
Won’t you take hold of my hand
Oh sweet jesus
Won’t you take hold of my hand
Give me some much needed comfort
While I walk this land
Oh sweet jesus
I would lay down my life for you
Oh sweet jesus
I would lay down my life for you
Everything that I want
Is what I see in you
