Not Today


Faceless and bland 

That's how they want me to act

Lone in sea of liars

Propaganda filling the agenda

Placed in strangers hands 

 

Hungry hearts and empty eyes

Long for their demise 

So behind their guns they hide

As the doors close 

As the mob grows 

We look for a chance to try

Overcoming the lie

 

Too lazy to riot 

Too angry to try 

Watch as they start dumping the chemicals

Into the water supply 

 

Does it taste different?

Are you afraid ?

That's their way of saying 

You'd better behave 

 

Not today

Hey everyone, I'm a very thoughtful and introspective aspiring writer. I've gone through some heavy stuff and writing helps tremendously and I joined powerpoetry to keep me inspired and going and help deal with the demons. I love music, making independent short films and music videos and of course writing.

<p>Rights Violation is going on, and like it or not the poets on this site need to address it. So I guess I will.&nbsp;</p>
