For The People
For the People 11/20/07 (Verbalshowers)
So we keep moving but not getting anywhere
Could be that we traveling in an system that’s unfair
Not a care
In the world seems to be the tare
That separates the braves from those that are scared
Do you have the courage?
to not get discouraged
To stay motivated
Get the movement escalated
Cause defeat of humanity is not something fated
To happen
in fact it’s the napping
That makes me start snapping
All these people bull crapping
In positions of power
Gas is rising and bombs mushrooms flower
Collapsing the tower
Of unity
we were working to create
Whole classes left devastated
Didn’t it get contemplated?
Shouldn’t we have debated?
Isn’t this what was stated?
Aren’t we all emancipated?
A country of the free
is still too caught up in what we want to see
Or be?
I’m the fe-male
that tells tales
That are true
But so few
Want the morals, when it indicates toils
blood boils, plans foiled
But didn’t it need changing?
Instead of floundering could we be rearranging?
We keep drowning in political pollution
Not finding solutions cause we wanna pretend
Stuck in apathetic delusions so we can’t even fend
For ourselves while it’s not of our choosin’
We’ve been force fed falsehoods
And got them stuck in our heads
But when you wake up and find
That you don’t like the times
Stop acting like mimes
Awake as a soldier
And shoulder the pressure
The power of the people can’t be measured or soiled
It’s an untapped resource worth more than oil
More than money
The people are priceless
That’s why I gotta’ grab my pen
Sit down—write, then recite this
Forget what the TV—what the media told you
Learn to set better goals for the future before you
Do you really care about having that bling?
Isn’t it more important to hear the birds sing?
In the morning? So we won’t be mourning
A planet that sustains
Not only humanity but the sea and the plains
It’s the pains
That I feel each day
That I stay
Inactive.
Gotta’ stop being passive
And collect the masses
For a massive move to renewal
Not only in our hearts but in the school
Of life
Selfish agendas have caused enough strife.
Pull ego off its pulpit of pride
Don’t let your true desires hide
Be on the side
of beauty
Not only cause it’s your right
but because it’s your duty.
So we keep moving but not getting anywhere
