Daron Malakian-Victims of a down(Poem)

READ FIRST!!
As the century nears its formidable end, our gobal experience of universal proportions, predicted by many greats, will arrive at our solar system, to our system of a down.
Authoritarian oppression, family abuse, depression caused by conformity, and economic devastation will be neutralized by technological terrorism in times of complete chaos.
Control will never again be gained for toleration will become extinct. A husband quarreling with his wife will not think twice or regret his spent bullet. Hungry children will not spare the grocer.
Remorse in all forms will be removed from human thoughts and actions.
Freedom will only be available through revolution or death. This system of a down is unavoidable as life on this planet becomes unnecessary.
The hand has five fingers, capable and powerful, with the ability to destroy as well as create.
We have the power to stop and reverse the tides of time by making our awareness of abuse known to the powers of industry and their uncouth political arms. Only by raising the awareness and promoting personal peace within today's self-defeatist society, can we allow the planet a chance to avoid self-destruction!

If I'm not mistaken the first half of this poem is on their self-tiled album and the second half is on certain versions of 'Toxicity', I think about 50,000 copies.

Also @Sakki117 The band was going to be called 'Victims of a Down' referring to the victims of the Armenian Genocide, however Shavo suggested they changes the 'Victims' to 'System' as he thought it would apply to a much larger audience.

@solutor102 the song is called arto, its the hidden track after arieals on toxicity

[Sakki117]

Mispelled Daron.

[Sakki117]

Typo, I misspelled Daron.

[Sakki117]

The poem is called " victims of a down" darn made this back when the band name was Soil, then due to this poem they changed it to System of a Down.

it's not daron "Vartan" malakian, vartan is his middle name. It was also his father's name, the artist who painted the covers for Mezmerize and Hypnotize, Vartan Malakian. i think he also painted the cover for Scars On Broadway but i don't know.
