Sleeping Pills
There’s a dark agenda
Lurking about
to keep us in the dark
to keep us asleep.
Quite content,
with their intent
To keep us from awakening.
To keep their kingdom
As false gods’ reign
To make us bow
As they vow
To keep us in the dark.
They seek to wreak
Chaos and havoc
Amongst the week
and the meek
As they seek
control
The time is now
To take back what is ours
See how we rise
From this disguise
Saying goodbye
To all the illusions and confusions
That keep us separated
It’s time to wake up
And take up
Peace and love
Not wage war.
Through healing and love
Forgiveness and peace
We can rise
And finally awake
