TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD THEME

Back in 1932 I believe this story began

It was set on a old worn town

And one mysterious man

 

His tracks showed he was about oh I'd say

6 and one half feet tall

With a scar placed across his face

And yellow teeth to top it all

 

His hands were forever bloodstained

From all the cats and rats he ate

His eyes seemed to pop out of his head

It was only later that the story was set straight

 

(CHORUS)

What kind of life is this

To have to hide yourself away

There was no justice here

Prejudice will live to see another day

 

Later on there was a big fuss

Over Miss Mayella's claims

She said some negro raped her

And Tom Robinson was on the end of her claims

 

Being the fine man that he was

Mr. Atticus Finch took the case

Knowing his children would suffer

Cause this trial was based solely on race

REPEAT CHORUS

And then the time came for Mr. Bob Ewell to take the stand

Out came the bible and Mr. Ewell raised his hand

 

And then came the time for Tom

To fess up to the alleged crime

He told the story like it really went

Said he didn't deserve to do any time

 

Then a tear started to swell in his eye

As he begged them to understand

It was then he made his gravest mistake

Said he felt sorry for her and offered his hand

 

Miss Mayella's claims were false

They were to cover her dad

He said, "No one will ever miss a black man

No one will even be sad!"

REPEAT CHORUS

Then it came the end

Ad Finem

The jury would descend

And hand a guilty verdict to an innocent man

 

Then to top off the affair

Mr. Robinson was shot dead

They say that he tried to escape

So they filled him 17 full of lead

 

What kind of life is this

If someone has to die

There was no justice here

Can't you hear the children cry

 

On that fateful night

Halloween to be exact

Jem and Scout were walking home

When they got attacked

 

It started by Mr. Ewell

Having his daily drinks

Then getting enough courage

To try and take it on the streets

 

Jem broke his arm and poor Scout was scared to death

Then a man came and helped them out

And he was short of breath

 

Then in the bedroom where we set Jem to rest

I got to see the man

To who I had been such a pest

 

Arthur 'Boo' Radley was the man in the dark night

Had to help the kids yes he had to fight

 

"Let the record show", said the sheriff Heck Tate

"Bob Ewell fell on his knife"

There would be no debate

 

"To tell the truth would mean bad news to Boo

Everyone would disturb him for what he's done for you

To kill a mockingbird I believe is a sin

Let's leave him alone the way he's always been."

 

AD FINEM

Time stood still for a moment

What I felt was heaven sent

I look and you were innocent

Yet you took a fall for me

 

 

(CHORUS)

A sea of rage no dam can hold

Now I lay with this heart so cold

All else has failed and then end

Has finally come

 

I fear the fire will pierce my skin

Now I'm left alone to search within

I now turn to the good book

And wonder how my faith ever shook

REPEAT CHORUS

 

LITTLE MYSTERIES

Close your eyes let yourself drift away

From the stress on life and death

I don't need to tell you

You know the rest

 

Too little time

It seems we have no patience

Even I'm guilty of that

People don't care enough about themselves

To just spend 5 minutes alone

 

This and that and that and this

There's always something left to do

Never finished, never contemplated no

We need to search inside ourselves through and through

 

See What lies deep inside

Of the carcass that we abuse everyday

It doesn't matter, day or night

We can find the way

 

Let us all just sit alone

Contemplate on what should be

Learn to love, learn the things we call

Life's little mysteries

 

MONOPOLY

Concentration

Isolation

Penetration

No more consolation

 

Greedy nation

Lost generation

I've seem to have lost my

Self sanitation

 

Fornication

Masturbation

Is this really god's creation

 

Inflation

A railway station

All ruled by a corporation

 

The monopoly is plain to see

In my life I'll never be truly free

 

CRYSTALLIZED

Humans have crystallized. The glory days are no more. We have lost all love,respect and trust in one another. Now-a-days nobody gives a fuck about anybody but themselves. We have been brought up as a generation to believe that we are safe, to believe we are innocent. But as we grow up we still want that feeling of innocence, but at the same time we give in to every sin we see. Humans expiration date has long since been so I want to know...why are we still here, living on this failed experiment called Earth. Sins have overpowered our morals. Greed,Sloth,Envy,Lust,Gluttony,Wrath and Pride. There are sins happening on every street corner. We have grown accustom to them. They are now just a part of everyday life. So in today's society it's normal to let evil get the best of you. We have crystallized. It's hard to conceive why things turned out the way they did. Now I sit here and ask myself...why doesn't the lord almighty do something? Maybe because even himself didn't expect this out come. All he was searching for was friends. All he asked for was 3 things...to love,to respect and most important to trust him. And what did we do??? We turned our back on him and have forgotten that sins are evil. GREED.SLOTH.ENVY.LUST.GLUTTONY.WRATH.PRIDE. The 7 deadly sins. Why can we not stop ourselves from doing it at least one day. One day is better than none but we can't even do that. I have crystallized. The image of humans is dark. All that's left is the bacteria. It's time to change. The world has got to scream for change before it can happen. But do you know what the problem is? Problem is that we are too tied up. We owe too many things to corporations. So much so that the companies are making the laws around the world. We need help. Let's open up more minds to help us on this expedition or peace. Let's make the myths! Create the legend! The legend of people who wouldn't change to the trend. We wouldn't conform. We wouldn't allow ourselves to crystallize.
