We Are For-Against the System

Our voices will never change the system!
Never shall anyone declare that
the youth will ultimately get what they demand!

Continue filling the streets with the leaders of tomorrow
if you wish and
tell us all how well that story worked out for you…

Freedom of expression is not a necessity in this society!
Believe those words when they say
Never!
Never
Take that chance of going against the system

Slowly change the world into a better place...
You can keep trying to.
Just like every fairy-tale
you know.
Everyone wants to hold on to that little brink of hope.

That is the beautiful irony of how it really is.
A courageous Dream
always leads to
Failure!
One will never understand the splendor of truth
until you look at things in one another’s perspective.

Niceky penned, I'm not sure which I liked better, a friend always had the saying "forward ever backward", works both ways like yours. DMB
