Forward Again
Footballs guarded like gold bars.
ISIS severes headlines from
Africa's crisis.
Forward is backward
Reverse is attractive
A prison ward devoid of words
Speechless, how captivating
meaningless has become
A dictatorship of media sensationalism
dig beneath the surface
you've heard it before.
Over and over again
the same ol record spins
Society's music
has separated us
from feeling anything
more than an
exposed erections.
Where's love's lesson?
Self actualization
self sacrifice
Don't think twice
Colonel Stauffenberg
went on a suicide mission
to restore hope in all of
humanity.
The equivalent of our hereos
shoots balls through hoops
and complian having
to wear suits.
Really wish there was
a person who could fly.
Soar above hype and fortune
truly worthy of the title of hero
Need life more simplified.
Need the whos and whys
answered with so what!
Put suffering souls
forward and front
recognize those who
recognize this
call them heroes
for highlighting what matters
