Change the Story

Change the story These words kept ringing in my ears Change the story That's not what people want to hear Every morning you saturate the airwaves with insentient and agonizing words disdaining my intelligence and rekindling a treacherous fire You have gone down that road before stirring up fear and doubt Impeding upon history And trespassing on my dignity. You have eroded all civility spilling vengeance , derision and anger Catering to their weaknesses And making unrealistic promises. Change your groundless theory and work towards unity stand up for what you believe in and stop this useless masquerading You have been hammering a tale that is so hard to bear The chronicle keeps duplicating itself resonating deeply in despair The music is playing loudly Echoing mystics in the air Change the precarious story and face the fight with decency.
