Sirens Call

Imagine, if you will, A world that lies still No more fighting, an end to death Integrity integrated in every breath Don't speak nonsense, I hear you say But that is how they decried the day when enslaved souls became free men and bigotry fled from the open And yet like dry blood it rots! Hatred in the people, locked; If not belief, or land as a cause, How then will Money continue her wars? To be free is to think to obey is to sink Those who sit on Oval Desks ignore those with bullets in their necks Planning and inventing wars In the manner of settling scores but there is no beauty in what I see The rich stay rich, the poor stay poor But this is not what the people vote And this is why I dare to dream A world in democracy, not just in name An end to mankind's greatest shame That one day the world may wake
