Level - Open Mind

What you would've noticed with your open mind
is that your wrists are bleeding
and your tongue is tied.
Do you remember we were all the only infants,
and we would stand them back to back
against the elements?
But you grew strong and left
us there to join the big game,
where you learned
lies that made the hurts of old seem so tame.
Back in those days
we had respect for all the innocence
and we never dreamed of drowning in all the
selfish decadence.
But you had a change of heart
that robbed you of your compassion
and left you choices
that controlled your every action.
