Ideas

Freedom is an idea
That a full stomach will quell
Why rock the boat
If tomorrow you see hope

Pure democracy leads to tyrants indeed
You vote your greed not your need
Leaders fight the rising tide
Only in time will the masses abide

Hunger feeds the soul of revolution
In deep despair violence is the only solution
Tearing down walls of familiar security
For the promise of liberty and equality

Equality is a fasle god of men
With natural talent a few will always win
Love exist in all within
Evil turns sweet love to sin

It's easy to let it be
Look but never really see
What is is? And what is real?
Do you die for just an idea?
