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
