The Wishing Tree

Standing in rows
Striking elegant poses
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what we came here for?
Humiliation
Human eradication?

Discharge concentration
Begin circulation

I would rather be
Alone for this
Cast me quietly
Into his hell-fire

Begin circulation

Is this what you wanted?
Is this what we came here for?
To begin circulation

What more do you want?
I've done all you've asked of me
I hear a voice calling
Out my name
I'll take a stand
Strangle my violent youth
Struggle to talk to you
Spirit speak to me

So many mind sets caged up
Yet this illness still interrupts us

Can we be freed
From this tedious
Questioning?

Now the royalty
Have all been cast down
But they belong there anyhow
The poor is absolved
Along with the weak
I am the last one
Who will speak

Patiently waiting
Anticipating the verdict

As we are
Standing in rows
Striking innocent poses
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what we came here for?
