I'll start off.

"The Deciders"

Options attenuated into laser beams
My feet are wet and cold
If what was just was just
Then let it be

There are those, those who smother the just
Like a drowning man, splashing about
From the mountain top we see the promise
The promise that the sun will rise tomorrow

Bird in cage, man in cell
Burnt with rage, can't compel
As notes float through the air
Bringing harmony to the wind

Waves crashing upon rock
I drink tea with Gandhi
Absinthe with Rimbaud
And shot heroine with Cassidy

The choice stands alone, no one to make it
The mean average of human intellect
Descends into the fiery depths of bliss
Since bliss is ignorance

But you need not concern, someone will decide for you.
