some thoughts....I just happen to think in poem form

We fight so hard for choice
For freedom
But we're speechless
Nobody stands up
We all stay seated
And when we feel threatened
We automatically
Want to "nuke 'em"
Since he shot my brother
And I don't understand
Their ways
So they must die
But if you ask me
I cant give you a good reason why
But...they must be wrong, MUST be bad
And over seas the man that shot my brother
Had his father and a friend
Shot and killed...
By my brother
And I don't understand their ways
So... we need to kill kill kill
Spill spill spill
Blood
Because... I don't know
And everyone's so depressed
And thinking about death
We love our pills!
Always been told we're not worth anything
This world holds nothing for me
So we take our lives
Before we've even begun to live
And we're young and giving our hearts away
Hearts are worn on our sleeves
We are crushed by every little thing
Picking up the pieces of ourselves
Glued quickly back together
And we hide behind smiles
Secretly, the only way out is Grim
But we're much too chicken
I am so afraid to be different
What will they say?
How do I know they're all not lying?
I don't know.
So I don't do.
I don't take a stand
It's been so long since anyone has REALLY fought The Man
I think I can I think I can
How long wwill it be till I don't need you holding my hand?
STAND STAND STAND
Stop sitting
You can't get anywhere in a chair
Wave your hands in the air
Like you just don't care
Hold your breath
Take the plunge
We throw the words
PEACE and
LOVE around
Until they don't really mean anything
Is there any sincerity
left?
Left, right, left, right
We're all herded like cattle
Only, we're usually not slaughtered
Into the building
Obey the authority
They're older, they're in charge
So they're right
That's wrong
Rules Rules Rules
Where is all this freedom I've heard about?
Isn't that why we're so great?
Let freedom ring!
Well, the only ringing is in my ears
From listening to so much talk for all these years
Talk Talk Talk
When can I see some action?
Where is you opinion?
Did you lose it with your dignity?
And why is it we fight wars over God?
What happened to Thou Shalt Not Kill?
Is there a footnote:
*Unless we kill for God?
It shouldn't work that way.
And SO MANY people are starving EVERY DAY.
Tell me, who is the FATTEST country?
We have sinned, O Lord. Gluttony.
World Peace
Wolrd Hunger
Global Warming
Is there any solution?
Are we even trying?
Everyone else will die overheated, in a soldier's uniform, ribs showing with bloated bellies
While we eat our grease and are fat, in college, with our cars and air conditioning.
Is this Right?
Or have you Left?
