Tangent June 13, 2009

We have allowed the banks to take over,
polluting our government, depriving us and our children
homeless and starving are our brothers and sisters
and religion has fallen to one or more of their own sins
and we the people are herded around as cattle, running on command
A blissful servitude, with daily injections through the radio or television.
Our minds numbed from the chemical intoxicants we digest knowingly or unknowingly.
Apathy consumes the single man, while hysteria claims the masses.
A pandemic, to the cancer that is our own beating hearts
children in grown bodies devour the innocence of being alive,
negativity can and will center within your core and fester
An inner atomic bomb just ticking away until it goes off
while burning every bridge you've made until your stuck and alone on the island
there is a miracle within every gift, one just needs to look
big or small it transcends any emotion or feeling, truly unique divine experience
and where religion has failed, there is your own spirituality
where governments have betrayed you, there is your own actions and responsibilities.
You cannot hide nor run from your future, a blank page waiting to be written
We all live this one life we know we have and all exist within this perception of reality.
dwelling on a planet that provides to us everything and anything we could need
as a species on this planet, we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past
if we do not chose to learn and remember the lessons learned. and teach our
children the values of what free men and women truly meant.
For if we do not change our course, freedom will just become an echo in the past
where for a moment in time, in history free men and women lived and died, even if it were for a short period of time.

Where are all of the hero's of old
In the bed time stories you've been told
we each hold a piece of the puzzle, a key to the secret.
From your first breath to your last, this life is a commitment
let us write our songs, so that our children can right our wrongs
while born into a broken system, struggling just to resist them
No longer can words be freely spoke, printing money yet were still broke
debt is nothing but slavery, am I the only one left who can see?
the birth of an empire was formed, from what our forefather's have forewarned.
How can a baby who has yet to breath, owe anything to another man's greed?
History will always teach us something, if we chose to look
and it is not always hidden within a book.

Their world has indeed changed, as they pull ever so tighter on our chains.
