Inspired To Act 1

My tears are real they burn my eyes with the dust of the lost 
take a look at life’s cradle and see what we’ve done 
they gave life as the only escape from the terror we create
this may be where time began but prosperity moved on
the land is foreboding now as the threat of aid kills everyone
thoughts of conflict are hard to reason reveal to me the truth of hate, 
show me how one person can bargain your escape
the prayer of millions unanswered screams of injustice unheard 
the world sleeps
I stand on a stage made political and unite the gifted for humanities sake
my honor is to stand for all that can’t and offer another breath
I now hear the cries inspiration guide me to resolve
