Conscience

Sometimes you’re right about our collective condition

You’re forming impressions upon our cognition

But these expressions are already given

We’re way past division and you call this religion

You might need me to guide you through the process of retention

Rewriting history is the modern convention

Action without words is often taken for intention

But you know infinite knowledge is never redemption

And you hammer at the conscience to try to dissect it

Oh, the minds of the wise that you have collected

With the help of the deities of war you’ve erected

You’ll never get it and I can’t forget it … now

The process of memorization leads to invention

But your man of sanity is a hopeless contention

You answer, “We do this ‘cause it’s our convention”

But your inspired scripture is already exceptional

We mechanize in our attempts at reduction,

But are we only capable of destruction

Like a litmus test of all of these warring factions

You are not a distraction—you are not a reaction to this

And you hammer at the conscience to try to dissect it

Oh, the minds of the wise that you have erected

With the help of the deities of war you’ve collected

I’ll never get it and you can’t forget it … now
