Your stand

Speech eludes me because of fear
Fear that someone might appear
I should say what I feel and feel what I say
Not live in fear every day

And this is how most people feel
With the way things are today
Because when they say we have freedom
It just means we can live
And make few choices for ourselves

And that’s why I cannot talk right now…

It’s why I can’t take the stand I want to…

It’s how I’ve let the big man win again…

Stories are covered all the time
Replaced by lies during prime
Television hours that cause
Inflictions in laws
That don’t even exist

The big man can go
Do what he pleases
Can even blow
Up the twin towers
Creating lots of stories
For the news anchors

Nothing happens…

No penalties…

No dummies…

But these dummies aren’t dumb
They are not numb
Towards the world around them
Because they see all the lies
Hanging around like horseflies
They try to stop this mayhem

Those dummies are doing
What I am incapable of
Which is fighting back
Even though they know it’s futile

They are the true heroes…

Not the men and women
Who come back injured from war
That fought not for their country
But what the big man said
Was good for their country

They are the heroes fighting
And unwinnable war

They are the true heroes…

They understand
That you don’t have to be Super
Like Thor or Batman
To go up against the big man

They understand the corruption
Around them and within them
They know that if they don’t fight
Someone else might not

They understand that
Even with all the luxuries we have
We are not living but surviving
And barely at that

And as my throat opens up
And these words spill out
I am not talking
My voice is now a shout

A shout, a plea, a cry for help
A hand to come reach out
And open all our eyes
To our world of demise

How can so many think that
What we have is freedom
When so many are scared
Of being played like a drum

When, all along, they always were…

It’s a just a part of the game…

A game that can never be won
But must always be played
A war we will lose
But fight anyways
Because we have hope
Even at the bottom of the slope

It’s people like Liz Wahl
Who’ll get up and talk
About what’s wrong and all
And then walk…

People like her know
That it’s wrong to work for those
Who encourage and support
The bullshit in the world

Just like Liz
I refuse to sit
And watch my freedom
Be destroyed

Will you?
