Take My Message Away

Wake my news, take my message away
Communication became a red flag
Bulletins became a blind eye
Abduction, tourism, grief, and murder became my footsteps
Each time I had to open my eyes
Ignorance and intelligence became enemies
The report, reporting, and reporters became advertisements

I try to scratch the surface looking for peace and harmony
Looking for followers of value
Preaching words of wisdom
Sending words to the wise
Letting us become one

Ceasefire to the bloodshed
Demolish torture, discomfort, and misery
Let’s, shake hands with the trigger person, prosecutor, and competitor
For assassination controls the pain we struggle to crucify
The message I try to speak only becomes a silence notification

Expression lost in fake news
For, when we become all for one, and one for all
Is when my message, becomes our message
 to new footsteps
Footsteps bringing communication off the red flag
Bulletins start becoming a shine to our eyes
Abduction, terrorism, grief, and murder take a leave
Each time we open our eyes
Making it our message
	Not just mine

The sadness that hits our dirt is fake news needed to be told. Too many tears and blood hitting the rivers
