The God on the Outside

the idol stands tall
perfect and poised
can such a tyranny
truly exist
screaming and stamping
beings chained down
most respond without a sound

accepting their fate
wallowing in pools of their creation
praying for another way to be
when the chains
they forgot how to see

pointing at those
who strive to break
it's their fault
that this happened in the first place

never look to themselves
forgetting the three fingers pointing back
the god on the outside
know how to put it all on track

these beings forget the observation
affecting all from within
they forget the feeling
of their own living skin
trying to crawl into another
to remember the sensation
all they find is disappointment

the tryanny
on the outside
those who stive to break
on the outside
god
on the outside

the world out there
all of it moving
along created by
what's within
these beings have forgotten
what's within
