Backward Move These Minds

Sad are those who have isolated themselves,
With beliefs that religion and politics do not mix.
When conflicts fought are because of this.

Sad are those symbolized by myths!
Fixed and tied with lives centered upon it!
And refusing to see beyond their self destructiveness.

Backward move these minds and behind the times.
Like a knocked eightball that drops...
To stop a game that's played.
By someone who has been mocked...
But comes to shock without delay.

Backward move these minds and behind the times.
With wishes to have a game prolonged and sustained.

Sad are those symbolized by myths!
Fixed and tied with lives centered upon it!
And refusing to see beyond their self destructiveness.

Sad are those who have isolated themselves,
With beliefs that religion and politics do not mix.
When conflicts fought are because of this.

Backward move these minds and behind the times.
Like a knocked eightball that drops...
To stop a game that's played.
By someone who has been mocked...
But comes to shock without delay.
