Hate's Lullaby
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU
OR ANYONE ELSE SAYS.
I AM A POET
AND I'M PROUD.
TRUTH SHALL ALWAYS LEAK FROM MY PEN,
AND I'LL HOLD MY CHIN HIGH;
BECAUSE GOD WILLING
...I'LL LET NOT A DROP OF WISDOM PASS ME BYE.
BECAUSE I'M A YOUTH WITH OPEN EYES,
I'LL FOREVER LISTEN WHILE THE WORLD CRIES.
AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT I'M HERE TO
RECITE HATE'S LULLABY.
ROCK' A BY WARCHILD
....LET YOUR WEAPONS LIE.
THE DAY HAS COME FOR YOU TO SLEEP.
AND I WON'T REST UNTIL YOU'RE
UNDERNEATH THE FEET
...OF AN INSPIRED YOUTH.
THE CHILDREN OF FREE THOUGHT.
WIELDING THE POWER OF THE WRITTEN
AND SPOKEN WORD.
LET THEM SCREAM THE WORDS.
I WILL NOT BOW BEFORE THE DEVIL'S CURSE
OF IGNORANT HATE.
FIGHT NOT A WAR THAT THAT LETS
YOUNG MEN DIE TO PUT FOOD
ON A FAT MAN'S PLATE.
GO TO SLEEP HATE...
SO OUR CHILDREN CAN AWAKEN.
THESE BOYS AND GIRLS NEED TO KNOW,
THAT LOVE IS NOT FOR THE WEAK
....AND KINDNESS IS NOT A MINDLESS LEAP.
GO TO SLEEP HATE
SO OUR DARKENED HEARTS MIGHT
BURST INTO LIGHT
SO OUR GUILTY CONSCIENCES CAN
MUSTER THE COURAGE TO ASK FORGIVENESS.
SO OUR INTOLERANT FACES MAY
BITE THE TONGUE OF RACIAL DISGRACES.
I DREAM OF A WORLD WHERE LOVE
IS BLIND, AND COMPASSION SPEAKS FREELY.
I DREAM OF CHIVALRY THAT IS UNDYING,
AND RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE FOREVER
FLYING HIGH ABOVE CLOUD 9
...AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
I DREAM LIKE BLACK AND WHITE MOVIES,
HONEST AND INSPIRED
....WITH COURAGEOUS PASSION.
I DREAM LIKE IT'S GOING OUT OF FASHION,
BUT I CAN'T DO IT ALONE.
SO LET HATE LIE
...SO WE CAN DREAM TOGETHER.
