Revolutionary Poetry

Open your eyes and tell me what you see
I see a bunch of hypocrites including me
I see a bunch of wash-ups making second efforts to turn new leaves
I see blood stained hands for the ones we didn't feed
It's a new dawn and a new day
Waking up to the same old shenanigans
Playing with death again
What if Luke followed the path of Anakin
How much deeper will we choose to be lost
Choose to be oppressed
Choose to feel insecure because of someone else's happiness
Don't steal my joy
Dont steal the lives of the youth
Train a child and he will not depart
Forget the child and he will break your heart
Revolutionaries are always dreams away
Until they grow up and see there's no stop to our moral decay
We cast the stones that are thrown at us
And we're searching for the chains trying to lock us back up
How is it that you can live in fear
When you know the devil is always near
Build positivity into your soul
Your eyes are your windows close them to the wickedness of the world
I write these words understanding they will fall on deaf ears
Is it even worth crying out if no one is really here
Absent minded, brainwashed by false pain and greed
Brainwashed into the lies they want us to believe
Public servants have us on the edge of our seats
They work for us, yet our brothers are the ones who get attacked and beat
Wars and rumors of wars leave us in a state of unease
Economies unstable like sand beneath our feet
The earth is crying out and telling us to change our ways
Yet we sit in shock when thousands are killed by tsunami waves
We sell our souls for touch screen phones, expensive clothes and J's that are "retro"
So please take these words and tell me what you see
I'm just as responsible for you as you are for me.

Con·scious·ness

Speak from your soul
Feel with your heart
Love in your actions
We were made in the likeness of God
Destroy not your mind
Live within positivity
Don't get lost in this times monotony.
