When Words Our Not Enough

When words are not enough

Let us be fair in the grand scheme of things

Lazy diamonds too cheap to order a side of onion rings
Let us never relent until the fat lady sings;
Many as of late have become that of irrational & disturbed,
They just ignore the main stream as if one hasn't already heard

When words are not enough....

When society makes you want to lament & give in
Never relent in giving up the fight against the system
Proceed with the captain leading forth an entire Army in white,
In decorated briars dressed in omniscent of hue;

What are we as a societal purpose willing to do

As if some caged rat that was hidden in some tiny little hole,


There has to be an end to this corrupt toll;

Some just put on good music & make those good times roll,

Others ponder a certain way of escape;

Heading off toward the Dune's on the Cape,
Others ponder another way of escape,
Many take out their pillows & sleep too late!
Still clearer heads have prevailed while some find there's in the sewer,

There is still a whole host of an Army just waiting to deliver;

In this life the less that you give your a taker,
When words are not enough submit your actions,
For out of the course of actions speak much louder then words;
A nirvana of hope will evoke some tender solace.
