Rising for the outright Independence

Unite to lend a hand to those who are in need, Unite against them, whose souls are consumed by greed, Unite and lend a hand, and we can change the world, We’re the ones we've been waiting for.

I kept on walking through the black world

under unknown clouds of poverty

It was not my own, it was

The collective reduction-ism of our times.

 

The ceaseless pouring of channels

Filled with despondent faces

It was the post-modern world.

 

A thousand voices called out to me

But they did not know they had called

It was good and calculated

A bounded torrent of our anatomies.

 

Systematized, controlled, blindly led

While the government had

tonnes of money, infinite resources.

Peace pushed just beyond the reach 

I realized that “hope and change” was 

just a speech 

Wars raging within our souls

 

The masses screamed together

But did not know or understood why

And at the blindness of my spirit

 

I saw the corruption of the new world

Totalitarian, fascist, neo-plutocratic

This was the moment I woke up from the open-eyed sleep.

In meditation a student learns to sit just to sit. It is sometimes more difficult than what most people realize. In much the same way we sometimes come to view issues at the most high ... but to observe well we need to simply see and ensure that we understand what we are looking at. Nice write.

yeah...Hope and change; just a speech...Don't those politicians rile you?

I HOPE for CHANGE......But until we rectify the GREED....My HOPE is nothing but that
