Analysis of It's A Curse
The worship of needs,
And wants,
And desires,
And ignorance,
Greed,
Is what I disdain.
From preachers
And writers
They fall in It's trap,
Unknowingly
Causing people pain,
Leading astray
Those who know the way.
It's a curse
That has ravaged mankind,
A never-ending horror
Of pain,
And dispare,
And terror.
A source
Of many wrongs
That we find,
The cause
Of countless mistakes
That remain.
We're all so blinded.
