Nigh Time, Liberty

A place called 'Civilized Society'.

Nigh Time, Liberty

 

Threatening are these times, staring down with this gaze, the illusion outside natures seed, and yet I see this beautiful wave of rebellion, it sways in hearts and souls, embedding itself deep within mind’s around the globe. I know that hope strives to be heard. Written down and called out, shouting to the ones with the reins. Those of whom are confused and pained by greed and its stains. I believe it is nigh time to say, down with this tragic cut, the scar to mend and our lives be lead… no longer by false imagery, no longer by pretend, by wants suppressed and civil unrest. Because if it isn't out of fear it’s out of Love, and in whatever faith you perceive as real, culture you grew in, nation you call home, that’s a continuous truth. Without harm, and without a dim lit candle flickering and faltering in the wind, driven instead by a fire quenched with passion and hearkening our desire for liberty.  That is and has got to be, our future.

This is a wonderful observation of what is, and what comes ... it hangs somewhere in between. A Gilded middle or midway to achieve a wholeness, it gives optimism for all of us, to bring the best above in ourselves, and to strive for what is needed.... The blind spots of all negativism, litteraly makes us blind, for we definitely don't want to see it, and that's really nicely displayed in your sense; "Those of Whom are confused and pained by greed and its stains." There is an untold fighter lust, yet spoken out loud, ;) and a clear point of reversal, plus a total joy and positivism. It's almost revolutionary. It is us and our future as somehow hybrid people, where acceptance, unity will form itself, in all good things, by the responsibility of good thoughts, like the law of Murphy works... I found this brilliant, and profound Vince, well well written, so also your choice of music, points out how needed this one was, to be heard... Thank you.

Zilla ;)

I am glad to hear your words, Zilla. Thank you.

[Zilla Z.]

My pleasure, anytime. I'm so glad you write such art lately ;) you're talented.

Poetry like this can change the world. A tell all piece. I too am glad to see the beautiful wave of rebellion rising and I am in agreement that love must be the end result or it will have all been in vain. Awesome work!

[V. P. Trujillo]

Indeed, for anger met with a disastrous force, unconvinced by angst, will not cause change. I was quite enlightened to this yesterday, actually.

The cycle will only continue as it has if hate and war is not overcome. I like to think that through art a difference can be made. There are many tools one may use but art is quite powerful and resonates deeply in the minds of the beholders.

Indeed, never underestimate the power of symbolism, I say.

We live in a world filled to the brim with superficiality and deception to distract us from seeing past the invisible bars they create, inside and outside ourselves. And yet, in these times, making its way from soul to soul, there is an awareness broadening, collectively, of which provide hope, for a future ruled by heart.

Stunning words, Vin, and relevant to our era. :)

[V. P. Trujillo]

Stunning words there yourself, lady. Thanks, Mi. =)

I like this. A true representation of liberty. Freedom is inward. And also outward, though in certain places that is harder to attain. Your writing is incredible, and your insight is very valuable. Amazed as always. :3

[V. P. Trujillo]

Heh, thank you. It is good to hear from you again, Chidori.

[Cecile Wonder]

Wow. That is amazing. I can feel the emotions and see the images so clearly. I completely agree that this is what we should have and need as a future. If only our world could be like this... You put in some powerful words and you could change a lot of minds if other people got the chance to listen to this. Keep writing you're incredible!

[V. P. Trujillo]

Thank you so much Cecile! That is my wish, to express myself as I am, be recognized as my own individual person and for these products of my being to attach themselves into the world.. as ideas, as feelings, as imagery, love..inspiration and add positivity to a world in turmoil.

[Cecile Wonder]

I can tell that' you have the power to change a lot of people.

[V. P. Trujillo]

I thank you again, friend. =)

[Cecile Wonder]

This was a wonderful read, and I enjoyed what you have expressed, it lends hope and that is always beautiful to me, it's a strong word, and that to is a liberty, the freedom to express and lead with conviction when so many young adults of today are so confused, it really nice to see and read something as powerful as this.

[V. P. Trujillo]
