Old World
Listen to poem:
I've turned on the light
my eyes move to focus
this world can not be bleak no more
the deep sounds tremble
helicopters pass by
media scattered abrupt as if a hellish creature roars
I'll tell you a story about a world, an old world
there's not just one world
In this place there is no such thing as space
it all ascends with grace ...them and I included
Our own entire journey
here, the past but not all has been forgotten
though adapted and changed
the downtrodden can be as powerful as them all
sadly the instinct paths have been corrupted
watching the numbers on our backs sooner or later fall
A small group of us are making a stand
we've put aside what we've discovered
contradictive differences within our skin
Our heartbeats as a collective
it's our destiny to bring down our hierarchy
...stop the recording...
So I thought, "change" hmm one once wished
from the rubble between my feet to the love one that sleeps
Did I cause this? Was this inevitable, it this what means to "be"?
Do I just adapt to change, who are we truly to have a say...
I suppose I can take comfort in knowing
The good will always prevail.
