Life

Why would our childern

Ever be the things that we are not?

The world around us can not be changed

With a simple thought

It's your duty to be a soldier

Or to die if you haven't fought

Now if you're like me

You're sick of this lie

That people have bought

But the people who first sold it to us

The ones that we should blame

Blame your enemy

Or blame your sister

Either way, it's the same

Because times now are changing

Our whole world can be seen rearranging

To fit the fragile pieces

That they say can stop me from raging

But i'm still writing on this page

And nothing is getting any better

Right now i'm just looking for something

To make me feel light as a feather

Some form of escape

From this modern world that is being plauged

Drugs

Rape

Wars

And everything that can be seen

That isn't staged

People say that they listen to the facts

And then close their eyes all the same

But when you close them

You are blind

And then your mind can be tamed

This is a world where civil rights

Are seen as less important

Than one's religion

Where being bullied for what you think is fine

But you don't see them as your brethern

You don't see them as your friends

When really, they are your very own family

Conversations with your peers

Saying "doing this will really bring out the man in me."

So you push him to the floor

And he's crying, while you shout

But is this the path of your jesus christ?

If so then

Count

Me

Out

Your savior stood for compassion

Accepting others for how they were

Your god created you to love everyone

Gay straight

Him or her

Everyone i speak with nowadays cites scripture

But they won't discuss

Even the devil can cite scripture if he must

For his own purpose

Your savior stood for compassion

Accepting others for how they were

Your god created you to love everyone

Gay straight

Him or her

But don't get started thinking

That i'm against the idea

Of a god above

I'm more against the idea of caring for some

And for others, no love

I'm more against the idea of real hate

For how i look

How I talk

Or how I act

How I think

Or what I believe in your sacred book

Maybe I can be judgemental

And maybe in your eyes

I show signs of being insane

But I promise you now i'm not the only one

Who gets wet when you see the sky rain

So maybe we could put aside the fact

That you and I have seperate ideas

But I will not sit back and watch you do this to any of my peers

So if you can not change the way you think

Or at least the way you act

I don't think that you will have a part in my life

And that statement is a fact

Equality is a right

Everyone else deserves it just as much as you

Freedom is a basic need

And love is something we all should do

If someone doesn't see that

Then that someone doesn't see

If someone doesn't need that

Then that someone doesn't need

Now these are just some words on paper

That may describe how you feel

But they couldn't change your life

That's done by your very own free will

But the world is changing rapidly

And it's time you catch up to it

It's not my job to make you start

But it is to help you realise this

Think of those people you call friends

Who you help when ever they're need

Thinking they ask out of pure helplessness

And not asking with only greed

So you agree to do

What they need to do

Until everything is done

But once you give them what they need

The same people will leave you with
