World Changers

poetboy123

Empty words striking hollow shells

Busy wondering if this is heaven or hell

Opportunities spring from corruption

Is it truly worthy to serve an inspiration?

 

Once again, I’ve gotten ahead of myself

Asking the wrong questions, poverty of wealth

This world is an ensemble of turning gears

Propaganda machine churning out fears

 

During these dark days, we must envision a brighter tomorrow

Fix the problems that are there, make joys from your sorrow

Unravel every mystery, hound out every lie

Reveal every travesty they tried to justify

 

With this idea embedded into my heart and courage in my soul

I stand ready facing the truth and the destiny I seek to control

Searing passion turning all my doubts to dust

My roaring spirit broken free, victory is a must

 

All the while my shadows threaten to consume me

But no chains or shackles can hold this feeling to be free

Reaching past the sky and past the stars to something I can’t see

I know it’s there, I’m ready to believe I’m crazy

 

Hoping to chronicle the tales of those who change the gears

Ink immortalizing their peril-ridden journey across the years

Getting a chance to find a family within a group of strangers

Only together will we rise and become true world changers
