Backed up into a corner, surrounded on all sides
Fighting tooth and nail to see what the truth hides
You may not see it or want to believe it
This world is crumbling and yet our hearts are split
Will you lie back and succumb to your fantasy
Because there are people like you and me
Out there fighting, their struggle making them free
No one is coming to save those who won't save themselves
It is time to grab your pens and write the future ourselves
A choice, a life, a war, and the world to finally reclaim
And a righteous rage of retribution sets your heart aflame
Don't let these lies sedate you into a false peace
Their empty promises forming a flawless masterpiece
Now burn it to the ground
It's your time to make a sound
Freedom from silence and war
Isn't that worth risking your life for?
Like animals, fighting tooth and nail when cornered
Crushing any obstacle, we will not be deterred

So powerful and inspiring!
Thanks, Hopey! 😀
Very inspiring!
Thank you!
Strong write. I can understand how you feel but war does not fix anything for us, the powers that are need to put away their weapons and talk peace.
Yea sorry if my message got a bit jumbled up in the writing, that's what I meant with the "grab our pens line". Thanks, Gold!
No need to apologise, our pens can fix all if only others would read and understand.
