We were all suppose to be born into freedom
but centuries ago,
humans decided to change the rules
also decided who qualified
to be completely free or who did not;
even today,
with the brilliant minds roaming earth
people are still being held captive
by perceptions, by history
and by our own minds,
cheating ourselves into thinking
that being different
is not a measure for being free,
thinking that to follow the norm
will always make us acceptable,
low and behold
try to slant the scales
try to be different
and you are branded
as an outsider;
lots have been done
to eradicate the stigma
and the infringement on people’s rights
on freedom of choice, but in the end
we will never be free until,
we stop blaming our past
for the decisions we take presently
and for the direction our future is heading into,
we need to change our mind sets,
it has to start with us as individuals...
I saw society drain away to the gutter on the street
How I wished I could help the disheartened ones we meet
Everyone effected by the thoughtless acts of disregard.
Passion within to change this soulless way, how avant-garde
Needing to pursue my passion for the greater good
Never fearing the negativity upheld, loved ones would
Joining an organisation that gave me a grant to make the change
The power to be compassionate to humanity in a grand range.
Polished boots, razor sharp creases, keen from the first moment
Wanting to change the lives of everyone, even if it’s atonement
Years on, finding out its money for the same old rope
Hungry for fulfilment, I need to stop this fear, and give all hope
Communities fearing the violence from demoralised youths
“Nothing to do” is the reply, none of these words are home truths
Street culture, such a powerful way of life, this is all they know
Searched by authority, a much needed but negative show
My Kind-heartedness was passion, I’m now in a moral debate
Supporting victims of crime, but wanting to put suspects straight
Humanity is a single word, so we must help one another to stand tall
This is now my agenda, dedication to build a safer future for all
Endless hours writing to governing bodies to see my radical approach
Youth engagement with sports, that’s where I became a dodge ball coach.
Promotion in the field of sports to brake down barriers with kids
Work will never end with constant battles with funding all those bids
My life is dedicated now to change the world, as we all know it
This pure heart is with the victims of crime, and the ones who commit
We must guide the misguided as they only see what we show them
Wholeheartedness, lets do this together, or we are the ones to condemn
