These Are the Days

These are the days when Peace becomes war Less becomes more Love becomes hate Hope becomes wait Joy becomes sorrow Yesterday becomes tomorrow These are the days when Truth becomes lies Suicide becomes survive Ugly becomes beauty Deception becomes duty Life becomes death Theft becomes gift These are the days when Day becomes night Brave becomes fright Pleasure becomes pain Reason becomes insane Might becomes weak Shallow becomes deep These are the days when the bold cold truth Shall shatter the fragile hearts and empty minds Of an angry ignorant mob bent on self slavery Hate Columbus but occupy others land Hate walls but build your own Hate police but police your hostages No intolerence, No thinking, No other point of views Goose step marching, rioting, looting pillaging And killing for any excuse that comes your way Someone is paying for all this, someone is financing chaos Enraged and scared by a false media protecting and egging them on When education becomes indoctrination Chanting slogans that mock the very freedoms they surrender Poor ignorant fools when enough is enough That hard bold cold truth will pierce your bubble Restore peace, rebuild lives and spread freedom for all Years from now the shame you feel from the hurt you caused Wounds and death of the very communities you claim support of You can lynch truth but it will struggle free And shine the light of love to free even you
