The Missing Link / Mentally Murdered
I. The Missing Link
An integral sense
Comes with belonging to a scene
Supposedly absent of barriers
(When sexism is only one of many)
Earnest words
Calling for unity of the sexes
When she's still the chick, or stupid bitch
(Ridiculed for showing an interest).
Hidden indifference
Strikes an emotion reaction
When you see an animal being abused.
Yet un-noticed when a woman
Is abused in the same way.
The links in oppression
Stem from the same degradation
But to one our eyes remain closed.
Actively abusing the rights of one
Whilst fighting for those of another.
The 'scene' may hold a different name,
But the roleplays just the same.
Egual rights are fine,
As long as she's in her place.
Outrightly denouncing fascism
Whilst oblivious to it taking place,
Is condemnation of standarts,
All an act to save face.
Unity a stark ambition
When out abuse surpasses recognition.
II. Mentally Murdered
Your aspirations, unable to stretch,
Beyond the barriers of what's expected,
As the free thought you were born with
Becomes externally polluted.
Lose sight of your ideals
In their brainwashing institutions,
Predetermine your values
To befit your substandard existence...
Discouraging creativity,
To aim for empty ambitions.
Living up to others expectations.
Takes hold of your assiduity.
Mentally murdered!
Always up to the mark,
Set the wheels in motion,
A fake sense of security
From your invariable position.
Sinking in the crowd,
A face minus expression.
A mouth that echoes words,
Recycled from tradition.
Your only contentness
Is in living a lie.
Mentally murdered!
Do you possess the strength
To re-create your own life?
