Immorality

who decides
what's evil
and what's not?

that's a human thing
a hypocritical song they sing
it's bad when they say so
good when they feel so
made in the image of their god
the same one who made 
Theresa “good” and Adolph “bad”

one man's hell 
is an alien’s paradise
they want "power"
then you pay the price

when is it okay to take a life
when is it okay to generate strife
Is it evil when Jack kills with impunity
and good when a “company”
murders wholesale 
in the name of secrecy or “national” security?

who drew the line?
who made the rules?
who decided 
“cools” and “fools”?
Is it kosher
To slice, dice and “enhance”
Mother Nature
To create something “better”?

There’s nothing some “men” wouldn’t do
Is it evil when somebody else 
does it better than you?
It is so easy to blame it all
On outside influence
And shadows tall
Perhaps you should
blame the “one” who made you
after all… 
He fucked up the software
Eons later and you still can’t 
Get it together here

Don’t blame us
Gus
It’s relative
Take and give

one man's hell 
is an alien’s paradise
they want "power"
then you pay the price

and so I look "in"
to an ancient eye
and ponder
who’s rules are they playing by?
In some quarters
It’s considered “evil” to tell a lie
And obliterate innocent travellers
From the sky

And on the wind, words 
Like phony
And immorality

Gently floats by
Without touching 
ME

and my
Necromancy
