The Dead has Risen


No brain activity No thought process Neither input nor insight Neither perseverance nor passion Purposeless existence Society speaks and you repeat the words Society walks and you begin to move Society is the puppeteer and you are the puppet When will you take advantage of the life in you? When will you begin to write your story in the sands of time? You have mobility of your limbs but you do not work for the benefit of others You have a heart but no morals or values You have a soul but no spirit man You have a face but no genuine expression of emotion You have a mouth but no voice Your heartbeat is just like a beating drum You’re alive… Yes you are alive so prove it! Show the world who you are Show your Creator you will not waste what was given Seize your life Break, crash and boom out of your invisible box Start living today Embrace your individuality Freedom is yours for the taking Now is your chance to live I can see the sparkle in your eyes Your pulse is accelerating The strings are snapping and breaking Your connections naturally and spiritually are strengthen Your destiny is formed and purpose is revealed The dead has risen!
