To Follow Blind

from A Human Artefact by Forward To Eden

/

about

I refused to open my eyes - I did not want to see
And I kept ignoring their cries - what I don’t belief doesn’t happen, no it can’t be!

I never wanted to cause anyone any harm
Never thought that my personal choices would affect the lives on the animal farm
All I ever wanted was to be free and live self-determined
Never thought that my daily choices would make the lifes of others predetermined

But why do I feel such guilt? I am not responsible!
Only did what I was told is right - like all the others I followed blind!
How can this be, why couldn’t I see?
How can this be right, why was I so blind?

I never wanted to poison, destroy or partake in pollution
Never thought that my impassive life was equivalent to contribution
All I ever wanted was to ease my conscience with a feigned excuse
Never thought about an actual solution never brought myself to refuse
Now all I can think of is to cause anyone any harm
To the ones responsible for the way of suffering on the animal farm
All I still yet want for them is to be free and self-determined
Never again want an animals life to be through my actions predetermined

But then, why do I still feel such guilt? For I am not responsible...
Only ever did what I was told is right! like all the others as well, I followed blind!

None of us is or always has been perfect, but it is never too late to change for a better, through self-reflection and perception. Start today. Stop following blindly and think for yourself!
