you cannot restrain me,
cannot mold me, or shape me.
you cannot lead me,
for i will not follow!
you cannot make me
believe in your gods.
you cannot scare me,
cannot break me or make me.
you cannot buy or sell me,
cannot make me your slave.
you cannot tell me
who i am, and am not….
bottom line:
you dont have anything
i want or need….
you dont own me,
i am free!
angry, the earth erupts,sick of it’s sickness.bodies flung against bodieswith a blinding rage…the faceless demanding faces,the nameless demanding names.not knowing, not understanding,peace, fullness, equality, freedom…all begin within…pushed in bloody blackened corners,lashing out with survival teeth…change will come,but the cost will be great!
you just being you,in all of your youness…as no one else can do!
match to the fire,stick to stick..hand to hand,heart to heart.truth to desire,time to start…..skin to skin,soul to soul.birth to death,coal to coal…face to face,day to day.breath to breath,pray to stay!
not in books or letters,not even in spoken prayers…for our most true prayer is indeedthe interaction between us and other human beings,with the sole purpose of dedicated being!
with ancient cathedral voices,but only to those who listen!babies speak…with first cry at light,only mothers’ ears hear!bombs speak…but never of freedom,oppression’s lies, loud and brash!hunger speaks…distinct human faces,lost to the indifferent roar!lonliness speaks…lost in self losing color,black and white emptiness!God speaks…but no one listens;lost in those clouds,slowly drifting away!
the way we ignore and turn our backson each other…the way we let children starve,we dropp bombs on families,we throw people out of their houseswho have nowhere to go…in the names of profit, patriotism,greed, and lust for power…the way we let our old people die alone,we put our young in prisons,we sell our daughters on…
