Revolution of the HeartA Poem by David McNeeley
We want to see a change
We want to make a difference But we feel nothing And all we know is numb We will wake in a new world One day We will know peace in our time But at what price Is freedom worth A world free of sadness and pain Is silence in a world of injustice A worthy cause Sure tolerance is a pretty word But tolerance means No Good or Evil in our world And without them life is empty What will we do when our revolution is done Where will we go when there are no more castles to tear down Who are we without your fight How will we live without a cause When we are kings How will we decide what is just, if there is no wrong You say the murderer is wrong, but he is a person You say rape is wrong, but the rapist claims he is in love So you see there must be rules, for the world to turn And laws must be kept, for there to be peace You will be the same as those that went before You will rule, and in turn are ruled True revolution comes, when you rule your own spirit When you control your actions And do not choose because you feel But because you follow something real When you have purpose © 2014 David McNeeley |
