NE-ME-SIS

Don't want to end up like my friends of' course
Gone of a just course
I shall not grieve so much
For one way or the other, we shall all go as such
And when I have to go, it shall be for a reason
Though they call it treason
The vultures of this earth
Always gladdened at the sight of death
With no respect for humanity
Thinking that life on earth is eternity
Vampires! getting so fat on our blood
Though it sounds odd
But for how long shall you betray a brother?
For how long shall you betray a sister?
The trust they gave you, you betrayed
And in you, I saw no conscience portrayed
I see! I see! Revolution
I see! I see! Rebellion
I can see blood on the streets
I can hear the sound of the drum beats
Because when you push a man for so long
Violence becomes his song
But unto him you blameth not
But unto thee who shareth their lot
From the mist emerges a traveller
And slowly he walks like a toddler
But unto his destination, he is no stranger
From his manifestation, emanates danger
Upon your stair case he tops
On your door he stops
Knock! knock! on your door he knocks
Before you could ask" who's there"?
Click! click! the door unlocks
Then he tries to answer your question, "who's there"?
But a word he could not utter
He tried again to say his name, but all he could do was stutter
Ne-me-sis
