Wake Up Call

Advaitha

Wake Up Call

 

How long will you choose,

To stay asleep and be parented,

By the vile and masochistic?

They are drinking your blood,

From right under your nose.

They are taking your children,

And molding them into cowards.

They are taking your lands,

And turning them into graveyards.

And flowing their flags,

Of monopoly and oligarchy

On the graves of your loved ones.

They are laundering your money,

To create fearsome weapons

And claim them to be covered,

Under the global legal basket.

They unleash those weapons,

To their whims and fancies

And blow your lives into smithereens.

They are taking you away,

From the Nature of who you are

And making you into an image

Of whom they want you to be.

You are denying being in charge,

Of what happens to your lives.

You play the victim card,

For being treated as doormats,

And Ohh! your misery loves company.

  • dusk arising

    What a shame you forgot to give any hint of who "THEY" are in your piece today.

  • Saxon Crow

    Agreed. But it takes everyone to say no in this hells world

  • Doggerel Dave

    "You talkin' to me?" Who do you think you are? AND Who do you think I am?
    Context is all.

  • L. B. Mek

    ignore the cynical vultures
    this, is an insightful and well measured write
    only those who choose to feed
    their own miserable ignorance can dispute its merits
    thanks for choosing to share, dear poet!
    don't be disheartened, keep your truth Raw
    and bravely unfiltered
    those who choose to not hide: will read and understand!
    the rest, well
    they'll go-on with their pathetic choices, to inflict
    even more hate and disheartening mischief, to maintain
    their survival cocoon of self-pitying, misery
    too broken and scared
    to trust or hope in anything better, anymore
