I don't understand
How our dreams get buried in the sand
Or how our unseen machine routines
Day in day out
Stick us in a social drought
Human interaction
Should happen
Instead it's barely a fraction
Of our daily action
Take a stand, gain some traction
Be that stonewall
--Thomas J Jackson--
Fasten up become your life's captain
Take control
--All Pro madden--
Be brave jump the canyon
Follow your life's passion
Trust me it'll happen
Just stay off the bandwagon
It is time to take action
Don't correspond
Lead a life beyond-
-Beyond the norms
And reforms of society
Live your life properly
Don't be treated like property
It's a governmental robbery
Meant to leave you in poverty
I hate to tell you but
You'll never win the lottery
Its nothing but a mockery
Meant to distract you from
The improperly, disorderly
Entirely bribery
Dirty and unworthy
People we call leaders
They are more like breeders
Watching from the bleachers
Viewing us like creatures
It’s time to be teachers
It’s time to be speakers
It’s time to be dreamers
We can change the world
be a truth seeker
