Stars

Sometimes we must remember
The stars are not out of reach 
But first look at what’s around us
From the forests to the beach

Turn off all the radios
Don’t listen to the news
Shape your own opinions
Without the tainted views

Too many people are brainwashed
Their mind is not their own
They have lost their identity 
And been turned into a clone

They tell us what they want to
And hope that we believe
But soon they all get tangled
In the lies they start to weave

So let’s all go outside now
Stop following on our knees
There is no tainted news there
Just the wind, blowing through the trees
