Sudden Reawakening


I await for Marion Crane To take a stand and fight the Grim Reaper For dear life I await A sudden reawakening And I await Art’s universal anxiety of modern beings to rather portray optimism Towards the eternal river And I await The Headless Horseman To lead the souls Shriveled in the valley of ashes Towards Jacob’s Ladder And I await Obscurity to embody The crystal clear strategy towards The war of the unknown And I await A sudden reawakening I await The shadow of uncertainty To wither away towards a parallel universe And I await A sudden reawakening And I await An inspiration Like the North star shining brightly In the dark, boundless sky Upon abandoned souls of an empty waistland And I await FDR’s 1st Inaugural Speech To instigate a revival of the defunct faith And I await The American Dream To give an opportunity of valor for all Rather than a detrimental destiny And I await A sudden reawakening I await My American Flag to flow like the rest And I await A sudden reawakening And I await MLK to come back any day With a vision of the future Arising from the desolate realms of humanity And I await Harriet Tubman to rekindle the lost dreams And I await A realization of the last breath Not as the end But the emergence of vitality And I await A sudden reawakening I await Holden’s vanished dream To indicate the first premature steps Towards moral maturity And I await A sudden reawakening And I await The Little Rock Nine To amble down the repressive halls Towards the promising liberation of Zion And I await The apprehensive adolescent To impact all existence Through his assertive voice And I await The fearful 9/11 victims To eagerly leap into the Oasis of tranquility And I await A sudden reawakening
