How many more times will it take you to see?
Each of you are blinded with rotting deceit
The lies they feed you poison your soul
And the space in your head is no longer your own
How many more voices will cry out in pain?
Each of you heads down deafened with shame
They stole all your empathy so long ago
And the space in your chest is empty and hollow
How many more lives are you willing to kill?
Each of you complicit by your own lack of will
They murder your tribe in the name of freedom
While the beat of your heart is weak and guilt ridden
How many more times must it take you to see?
Because times running out if you want to be free
Gently they've nurtured your cold apathy
Until nothing matters except your own miseries
How many more times?
Not many more
Just one final push
And then who knows?

Strong write SC, I would like to think that I am going the right way in my life, into a world where all is well and where I can help others as best I can, it can happen where help is given at no cost but those in power cannot see that this is the way to go.
