Io

Sitting on the beach

Looking at the night sky

I've seen the news today

Where will it finally end

Do I really have to follow

Follow them on their self-destructive path

There is a compulsion

That makes me do things

I don't want to do

And this conflict

With its contradictory poles

Rules my life

Back and forth

Right and wrong

Forced to something

Far too long

Break out

Back and forth

Right and wrong

Far too long

A moon of the 5th

As a symbol for human kind

Glowing by the presence of two

The wonder of love reduced

To a function of hormones

The wonder of life reduced

To a reaction of instincts

The wonder of belief misused

For power for power

The blindness of both

As an answer to the

Separation of one

Science in its contempt

Religion in its selfishness

The origin of both

Neglected by both

Back and forth

Right and wrong

Forced to something

Far too long

Break out

Back and forth

Right and wrong

Far too long

Why should someone who sees

Follow the blind ones
