The Silent Wars
I don't have much fight left in me
Fighting to keep an important part of humanity.
I hope it won't all be in vain
You don't know
Well let me explain.
Call it another soap box.
Call it another fit.
But when I'm all done,
You might agree with this.
The state of humanity has fallen
We are no longer
Thinking for ourselves.
Feeling within ourselves.
Depending on ourselves.
Then begs the question.
Are we truly free?
Enslaved not physically but
Mentally
Emotionally
Financially
The list goes on til infinity.
The clothes get shorter
Because a magazine said so.
Your body is never good enough
Because a doctor said so.
Debt grows larger
Because Educational institutes said so.
Everybody wants a revolution
But it will take an evolution
Not of the body
Of the mind
To turn back time
To when freedom was a thought
Manifested in the souls
Torn down by society
Brought up by what used to be humanity.
We are fighting silent wars every day
Making the enemy stronger
By complacency
By the inability to speak up
To take back our rights.
To live for ourselves
Think for ourselves
To become independent from this thought
That we are not good enough.
What now then?
Glad you asked.
Speak up from behind the glass.
We are not prisoners
We are warriors
And through that evolution
A revolution
Can bring back the RIGHT CHANGE.
