Notes About The Poem

Aquarius Rising

Contest Name and inspired by :
Darkside of Aquarius by Bruce Dickinson          
Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori 
__________________________________________ 
1st Verse:
Our wheel of fortune is ever present
We need to  foresee all we resent

We must be our own saviour
At best with our behaviour

Tread lightly amongst greed and corruption
Dont let them be a disruption

Wisdom and bravery never condemn
always aim to illuminate them

Lies and violence bring us to war
Do we ever question what we're fighting for?

Chorus:
Keep the wheel of goodness turning,
Keep greed and deceit ever burning
over a flaming fire
not our funeral pier

Verse 2:
Move the wheel in the right direction
Feel the unity as we instigate correction

Overcome wrong doing as best we know
No waiting to be the one they call hero

March against evil, and tyranny 
Eradicate corruption now you see

Create human dignity and kindness.
Honesty and goodness will end their blindness

Poison is spreading over the land
As they move the wheel lend a hand

Chorus:
Keep the wheel of goodness turning,
Keep greed and deceit ever burning
over a flaming fire
not our funeral pier
