An Amendment to the people


May we return.

May we return to the days of old

With warriors hearts and spirits bold

Lonely hearts abounded and bred contentment in the finer things

A state of nature allowing us to spread our wings

Where is the wisdom?

Lost to the fear of failure we Seek satisfaction and nothing more

While we go by names of killer sinner and whore

When you forsake the rose’s sweet scarlet

All fades to shades of grey

A proposition for the people is what i’ve come to bear

Draw back the beast of greed and pride

Let loose the hounds of revolution with passion i cry

Forget your fear

Only in the name of a better life should we seek to die

A martyrdom for the ages but now of our lives

Set free your demons and fight with your hearts

A well oiled machine could never tame a man of righteous light

In a world of wrong to resist we must do what is right,

to uncage ourselves from this prison of government turned corrupt from within

Take up your arms and brandish your rights

in order to form a more perfect union we the people must face

A force unlike any before and fight assuredly with steady pace

In a case of pearls before swine will you take water over wine?

Our fathers taught us well. As theirs did them

A cause to be remembered that out values any gem.
