Rebellion
I’ve watched this world change
A colorful puzzle to a metal block
Watched men die
Seen the fires of the state rain down on the plate that sates societies thirst for knowledge, thirst for justice
Too long have we watched
From our tv sets
Our books
Our papers
Our eyes
Our minds
Actions speak louder than words and so does rebellion versus inaction and yet our words incite us to action
Corporations puppeting our frustrations
American consumerism is the name of the game, no one cares
Rise up from those depths
Those black pits draining the breaths from your brain
Our Masks shattered
We the people, we fall scattered
Break our social bonds, and to stretch our warrior fronds
Are we all not people?
Your brother, your sister, your mother, your father, your friend, your foe
The nameless kid in class
Are we all not soldiers?
Fighting through our writing
Our minds are guns
And our thoughts are the bullets
The price of human life is just an average of the means
Held true to that, we’re thought as cogs in the machine
This façade
All naught but a charade
So Rise up! Rise up! Even in the eyes of your peers
Before a capitalist police state, society nears.
