They Led The Way

They Led the Way

Trying to overcome misplaced aggression,
With despicable thoughts broken in time
Bastard sons growing in numbers beyond our control
Diseased DNA leads to a malfunctioning mind
Forever casting us withered and blind

Resurrecting the Beats in their glorious nature
Profound beliefs that revolutionized a bored society
Tumors malignant in their nature,
Growing beyond any conformists worst nightmare
But, these were tumors built on freedom
Sadness permeates our sickness in all its beauty

This lost generation of lost souls
Showed us the way to eternal life
And the immortality of the written word
A belief in something that has no belief
Transcending the traditional beliefs of religion,
While showing us the path to our own
Personal enlightenment which can’t be shown
It must be found within

Our own search for truth, which just can’t be given
We may have walked through many hells
To find our true artistic expression
Which is a gift no one can take away
Not even in death, it’s always there
To be seen by all those that question the status quo!
