Wake Up

It is hard to show my enthusiasm when everything around is looking so dark and grim It is hard to show my enthusiasm when the global events have done me in I have woken up to a brand new day with hardcore reality flashing in my face The world's pressure is floating on top while an excited crowd is jumping around me Flashing their camera all over and still adoring my reality TV celebrity I am still riding on a pedestal flinging paper towel to dry up the flooded land The raw red meat has disappeared and I only have paper towel to share Blood is still running in the streets and people are screaming underneath Their hands are bound their mouth are closed and they cannot make a single sound A week before today I saw this image floating around on the screen On Sunday it was as clear as day so I took to the street to pray Many people believe that I was mad and it really made me feel sad I had to profess what God had showed me and the next day I woke up to the bloody reality Hours later it happened the exact way and I couldn't deny that God was not alive I still cannot get over this terrible feeling that has left me weeping I am stuck in this horrible place and I can hardly pray Evil is flying high in the sky it has tormented us for years but the bubble is over the curse has broken and God is getting ready to take over The devil is walking back we will sink him in the pit and drag him off the track Nothing make sense some people's conscience are dead They do not understand the spiritual things daylight is finally zooming in Everything is surfacing and my heart is roaring I can hear my mother's prayer way out in the deep I turned to London for some consolation But I pounced upon a coward man spreading propaganda over the land The sun is still shining in my face and I am confident about my place I sat behind the window blind looking at life so sublime I am neither happy or sad but I thank God for what I have Many of you are questioning my authority because I refuse to sack the defiant man who has opposed my seniority A pig will always be a pig no matter what you do with it You give it a perfect bath then it will bathe in the mud in the dark My patience is long my endurance is strong but when that is through I will see about everything that is bothering you You ask me if I am happy with my job there is no doubt about that I am here to serve the people who have catapulted me to the top They can rage behind the scene but I stronger than I have been The music is playing in the background and I am making a powerful rebound One that will be talked about for ages one that will quiet the roaring faces and put the peoples problems forward back on the action stand I will quiet the murmuring within, with a beautiful smile and a victorious climb I am more confident than I have been because I see something good happening I am hearing a beautiful tune and I will play it before noon The song is singing loudly in my head The room has suddenly come alive and everyone is on my side The walking dead has been revived Dry bones has risen to their feet to join the grand jubilee women and men boys and girls young and old and babies only five days old has join the massive throng to revive our heart beat and sing this beautiful song I got myself together and asked God to address this matter and the stumbling block that has been holding me back Have been tossed entirely out of the bloc At last I could pray and witnessed the dawn of a brand new day.
