Insight

In no will I am named

To a birthright I have no claim

I rummage through the lives of man

Foraging from them what I can

Right from wrong it’s hard to tell

For I’m still holding the keys to hell

Call me guilty, I am not

Lock me up until I rot

You’ve viewed the past & still can’t see

Call me guilty & I shall be

The thread of life that keeps us sane

Is beginning to show signs of strain

Triggers released within our minds

Creating stutters & empty time

Call me guilty, I am not

Lock me up until I rot

Line your pockets with filthy change

Allowing the guilty to be free of chains

Not a dime, have I left to pay

For all my wealth was stole away

But in the end, the good book speaks

We only sow what we can reap

Call me guilty, I am not

Lock me up until I rot

If reality is what I perceive

Does yours differ from what I see?
