Humanity Redefined: Part 4 (The Omega)
Though greed was responsible for
The invasion, greed would also be
The fuel for humanitys survival.
Harvey Trenton Smith-
Though singlehandedly causing the invasion,
He would be the key to ending it.
A molecular dismantling ray,
Possessing such unequivocal potency
Nothing could escape disintegration.
With help from the worlds governments,
The device was mass produced.
One last chance to ward off the Xeno-Creatures
A force field suddenly encompassed Earth
The Xeno-Creatures activated a dimensional rift
The inexplicable energy radiated in space.
The molecular dismantling beams
Collided with the dimensional portal,
Corrupting it and distorting its polarity.
The following reaction instantaneously
Obliterated any particles within the
Surrounding solar systems.
This is The Omega.

When the Bush Begins to Speak
They know us not in England yet, their pens are overbold;
We're seen in fancy pictures that are fifty years too old.
They think we are a careless race - a childish race, and weak;
They'll know us yet in England, when the bush begins to speak;
When the bush begins to speak,
When the bush begins to speak,
When the west by Greed's invaded, and the bush begins to speak.
'The leaders that will be', the men of southern destiny,
Are not all found in cities that are builded by the sea;
They learn to love Australia by many a western creek,
They'll know them yet in England, when the bush begins to speak;
When the bush begins to speak,
When the bush begins to speak,
When the west by Greed's invaded, and the bush begins to speak.
All ready for the struggle, and waiting for the change,
The army of our future lies encamped beyond the range;
Australia, for her patriots, will not have far to seek;
They'll know her yet in England when the bush begins to speak;
When the bush begins to speak,
When the bush begins to speak,
When the west by Greed's invaded, and the bush begins to speak.
We'll find the peace and comfort that our fathers could not find,
Or some shall strike the good old blow that leaves a mark behind.
We'll find the Truth and Liberty our fathers came to seek,
Or let them know in England when the bush begins to speak;
When the bush begins to speak,
When the bush begins to speak,
When the west by Greed's invaded, and the bush begins to speak.

What do we do to stop hate?
light is light,
dark is dark,
day is day,
night is night,
when light comes dark goes,
when light goes dark comes,
when day falls night rises,
when day rises night falls,
love comes and love goes,
love can break,
love can grow,
love can blossom,
just like as hate is driven from love,
as hate can also come,
it can also go,
hate can also be forgiven,
hate can also grow,
and hate can certainly blossom,
what can we do?
can we honestly stop hate,
I know I'll try my best to,
But can you honestly stop yourself from hating?
when deep inside you are actually hating?
Let me ask this...
if hate is in-front of you now,
as an object,
what would you do?
would you destroy it?
would you beat it?
imagine it was a human,
would you destroy it?
would you beat it?
would you wipe it away from this world we know as earth?
because if you did,
you would be the breed of another chain of hate,
but if you didn't stop hate,
then hate would grow,
so how do you stop it?
can hate really be a non stopping thing,
that's option is to keep growing?
what would you do,
to stop something like this?
i mean,
yes you can take away the variable to hate,
but then what is the root cause of hate,
greed? well then humans made greed,
so can humans be the cause of hate?
so to remove hate you must first greed,
to remove greed is to remove humans,
but with out humans there would not be love.
what do you do to stop hate?

Banks
The world is sure a messy place
Because of the greed of merciless banks
They rob the poor to profit from it
And disguise themselves as the charitable rich
I am no fool but I know for sure
That the greed of a few is the doom of the poor
And as the Banks all are profiting from the demise of our land
We are all just as guilty, because we've complied with their demands
When we went to war as a nation it seems
That no one asked a question about why do we need
To assault another nation or who was at fault
We simply enlisted and did as we fought
I can't help but cry as I see the insane
The way we treat each other for a simple gain
Of profit or property or just simple need
We have all become criminals because the banks greed
Are we just so simple that we will give in
With a bank's need for wars to make profits and win
Are we so damn gullible or just plain insane
That we allow banks to dictate how we abstain
We are broke and in peril and simple victims
Of Bankers who rob us and who have a need to win
They take away our money, and take away our lives
They take away our desire to do what is right
When will we put the boot to these selfish few
Who feel we are only fit to lick ths=e soles of their shoes
As they declare war on the poor and the disenfranchised
To profit even more from the greed in their lies
So lets stop the warring and began a peace
With all of the nations and all of the beast
Let us make amends for the woes that we've caused
By allowing bankers to dictate all the laws
The Banks are all sinners
The Banks are all lies
They will eventually be
Our judgement and our demise
