Please Dont Fall Asleep

Wake up America, Arise from your slumber Media has desensitized your minds We live in a new world of technology that has made you colorblind Meaningless, with deeper meaning Music lyrics have been subconsciously stealing While you think it’s the beat you are feeling Listen to the words and then tell me if it’s still appealing Even Movies have brainwashed your judgment of what’s ok Too many people are sitting back, watching our ethics slip away. The Government has helped us all too simply learn to accept While gradually breaking down the family structure, many have just slept. No longer can we allow these planted seeds of lies to continue to grow This is real reality, not some entertainment show Our children are not aware That their future is in for a scare Our youth are looking for role models and leaders They have become susceptible to idolize bottom feeders Wake up America, We need a real change Bring back integrity, morals and stop being estrange They keep us busy in televised drama Currently immune, with no proper armor While people are starving and walking around half alive They are plotting our nation’s permanent demise Sex trafficking is at a an all-time high Wealthy men are raping young girls in America and when they are done with them they watch them die! Poverty and greed is causing drug dealers to lead A generation of angry lost young man Creating baby’s that start the cycle again The more eyes that now see The more we can be Brought back to truth and sanity The rich are getting richer and the working class have grown tired Democracy is being set on fire You may question what you can do If everyday each person changed just one view We would be able to recover what has been lost and start bran new The people need to take a stand and vote like they really care We must join together, use our voice, and remind them we are still there.
