Power To the People

Check it out What's on the agenda today Self righteousness flourish In gardens of hate Who wants the attention Will cheat to eradicate Any opposition Standing in their way Have no doubt Ignorance is the tool Mass Media propaganda Fed constantly on the news Seems like No way Out Prepare for a fight It's a matter of Survival Stand Up for your Rights

I heard that my brother. Words everyone needs to hear. Unless good men stand up and be heard bad men will take over. You have to be willing to fight for your beliefs or they will be taken from you. Great stuff . God Bless, JB
