don't be tool of the fool

don`t be tools of the fool to the one who wants to see the fires burn wild so they march and chant words to widen the divide the majority hear you the majority see you and see the hypocrisy in your words you have the right to show your colours and the right to chant as you march along your chosen path the road to freedom was paved with sacrifice let your culture run through your veins and be proud of who you are but don`t let it be one of disdain contempt is the killer of respect history pages once smoked and burned so let`s not forget about yesterday and just see it as that was then and this is now let the sins of the past stay in the past you hold tomorrows future in your hands don`t let it be one with regret and just say it could have been worst it could have been better your ancestors may once lived in chains but now the links have been splintered but not yet fully broken don`t be the ones to bind them up again so take it easy on the rhetoric and don`t bite the hand that feeds `cause there`s more to be done just remember today is a lot better than yesterday

Hey Jay I like your poem of inspiration. Leave the past in the past and concern yourself with the present while you keep an eye on a better future

Thanks glad you found inspiration in the poem today is Australia Day (Jan 26) & I was inspired by an event held today in my country. Today should be a day where we all unite & celebrate but...
