Dnr Tag

Hear what I speak, yet unspoken.
  feel what I feel, yet unfelt

Remember what will happen , yet it has not yet happened 
 the truth is a dull knife and cuts you as strong as a sword with a fine blade
   determined  to insert itself through time and place ..giving no face
     a word of cruel intent to reduce population by any means invested

Determined to repeat as if handed down by a General , the order given
  the destiny of mans true nature within to insure enough food is left 
   many yet have no idea water itself is the finest of commodities 
    Water , not silver or gold of any worth, the simple things taken for granted

Keep shopping ignoring what is right in front of you 
  ignore out of fear that it be true
    inside you know already 
      I don't need to tell you 
 I have been told in the depth and still of the night " 
     What I have been told to write.
  
In the still of the night lies insight, voices from our past trying to get your attention
but you refuse , out of fear ,like the many before you that knew , yet are gone now.

Does the Obama plan come with a DNR tag ?
