Subverter's Mind

Written in acknowledgment of that constant force of subversive that exists in our lives, ever seeking to de-stable and undermine any noble effort to aspire to a better way of living.

Distaste of folk struggling alone,
Merely a piece a player owns,
Once sovereign but now without home,
Stepping up is what must be done,
As one working for fellow man,
An intertwined and tempered clan,
Think of all our better spent time,
If not for the subverter's mind,

No War would be fought to no end,
Forgot would not be our brave men,
Needs gone with all mothers given,
Sought would be the noble vision,
We would indulge in arts refined,
Folk and ties would see eye to eye,
Greatness we'd idolize and prize,
If not for the subverter's mind,

Blood bound work together in life,
Neighbours uncloaked away put knives,
Together driven by what's right,
Paths are written by inner insights,
Idols proudly raised on the land,
Facing danger together all band,
Against injustice as one stand,
If not for the subverter's mind,

Evil abound was let on in,
Box opened and apple eaten,
There is no going back again,
On and through the given option,
Imagine all that could have been,
If not for the subverter's mind,
Incarnations of the divine,
If not for the subverter's mind,

Vile thought patterns they made to spread,
Whilst words of kin remain unread,
No undermining of our aims,
No not knowing one's neighbour's name,
Subservient not to the grift,
If not for the subverter's mind,
Enjoying the gods' given gifts,
If not for the subverter's mind.
