No Exchanges, No ReturnsA Poem by Robert LunaJust my thoughts of lately. Hope you enjoy.
Once upon a time, it was said If god intended man to fly he would have givin him wings instead but here’s the thing he gave us something so much better than wings He gave us innovation, perseverance, hope, and desire All the things that would cause our minds to be set a fire And now that we live in a modern time where we use and abuse consumed force feed misinformation that is ultimately leading us to our own damnation I’ve been looking for salvation or some sort of revelation I know I’m not the only one awaiting the revolution to begin So let it begin with me Because I can’t stand what I see The stars and stripes that hangs from a pole Somewhere along the way she lost her soul Make no mistake I ain’t a saint But every story needs its villain and hero and here I stand at ground zero Ready to fight with all my might Because I won’t be a part of the generation that allow freedom to die So I’ll continue to try Standing up to defy Don’t you know it’s the devil at the door asking for more treating you as his w***e Labeling it universal reform As we pick and choose between red and blue Seems it doesn’t matter what we do somehow we the people still lose I’ve become so enraged to the point I’ve gone color blind but I don’t mind this lovely shade of gray It’s allowed me to see a truth in the statement “life, liberty, and the pursuit…” The pursuit of happiness that we all strive to achieve by any means But I find that I’m haunted by the ghost of the past The men and women whose blood, sweat, and tears Over the years, once made this country great now I pray that it’s not to late and we don’t hesitate As we I arise like trees from the land and stand unified against the man whose plan involves enslaving the land of the free Because it can’t just be me That sees the current state of affairs is being more than just a little unfair So I share the burden I carry and say this We have but one life One chance There is no exchanges, no returns so we have to make the most of our one shot do everything we can with all we have and learn to fly. © 2009 Robert LunaFeatured Review
