Hooligans

Armed to kill with their guns and batons, 
How can we defend ourselves against them, 
Hooligans in uniforms with weapons, 
Police preaching peace and protection,
Yet proving themselves a constant contradiction,
As they beat up defenseless innocence, 
And are feared by the mayority of the nation. 
Who protects the people from the police? 
Why are violent thugs given authority?
We give them the power, we let them be,
Turn a blind eye when your friend leaves the cells, 
Battered, bruised, black and blue,
No questioning the law, too scared to sue,
There would be less danger on the streets,
If we unarmed the police, 
If we took back our own authority, of our lives, 
Realise that its our choice, 
To continue believing the hype, 
Why should we live in fear and lose our independence?
I refuse to abide when I dont agree, 
I refuse to conform,
How can it be a crime to disobey,
This means that we are slaves? 
Freewill is inexistent nowadays, 
I wouldnt want to bring a child to this world, 
Where infants are anulled to become consumers,
Slaves who keep the cog turning...
Its sad, but we are born into a prison.

Prisoner

Constant contradicting thoughts,
What was prohibited is now not law,
All the kids they laugh, 
All the kids they stare,
I just try to be happy,
I just try to be free,

Since then, from this prison,
That I'm locked in,
They won't let me out,
I got nowhere to go,
This has become my home,

I'm still a prisoner,
For all the sins and the pain,
I'm still a prisoner,
It's written on my name,
My identity,
Numbers they gave me,
My identity,
Means that I'm not free,

Whisper not a single word,
Silence has become my virtue,
How else do I fight, get through,
Their law suffocates me, no truth,
Their law is against me,
I don't know what else to do,

I'm already a prisoner,
For all the sins and the pain,
I'm already a prisoner.

Wake Up

Wake Up
The prison walls come down,
Mankind as one, willingly imprisoned themselves,
A little push with fear and lies,
Everybody bent over without even questioning their word, why?
Now I see a complete lack of brotherhood,
No morals in what you do,
When you grass up your neighbour, or a stranger who did nothing to you,
You applaud authority whilst they beat your fellow men,
Who is worse? The violent thugs in uniform or the sadistic audience?
Now they can see how easy it is,
How feeble we are, giving away all of our rights,
Locking ourselves away without a fight,
No signs of uniting or questioning the hype,
Turn on your TV, spend hours on facebook, fulfill your life with likes.
What a disappointment we are,
For those who fought and died,
For liberty, revolutionised mankind,
Only for it to be lost by the spread of a flu,
Now they know how easy this is to do,
Security without freedom is prison,
Your health is not at stake, the illness will go away, the poison will stay,
This isn't to do with health.
Wake up to see the reality,
Take off those unprotective masks,
Breathe in the air of sanity,
This is the last chance we have to amend the damage,
Their future for us has already started,
I believe in free will,
Not a society of slavery,
Born from fear and manipulation,
Mass control of the population,
We have a right to privacy,
Yet we just gave it up in blind belief and loyalty,
To those who don't care about you or me...Wake up.

Parasite

Annul the nation, 
Annulation of the situation,
Feed our egos with propaganda and lies,
Numb the souls, Occupy the minds,
Distraction from living our lives,
Specified time for us to go outside,

Adaption didn’t pose a problem
Normalizing the lack of freedom,
Accepting the new rules,
Believing the bull that they tell us on the news,

This coming generation,
Is a product of our own creation,
Their desired future for us has been already chosen
Opted for this worldwide slavery to the system,
Science fictions books became reality,
Simple and easy, obey authority,

Futuristic tales that were written by imaginative eccentrics,
Are now becoming parts of history,
It was all premeditated for this society,
Still we see no disobedience, opinion, passion.. humanity,
Repetition creates normality,

But these are just selfish rants of a small being,
Who occupies a tiny space in this big world,
Anger, hate and rage bubbles inside,
Until she breathes and opens her eyes, 
To see flocks of birds flying freely in the sky,
Earthly neighbours of all shape and size,
Dance together, without the need to hide,
Crystal clean air, all shades of blue saturating the skies,
Liberation of an innocence that was imprisoned for so much time,

Our species, made up of an immense ego and an unmeasurable lack of empathy,
Have dictated, obligated and taken over Gaia as if she were property
An unexplainable universe that works through connectivity,
Abused, disrespected, in an unfair captivity,
Imprisoned by the mere being that it had given life,
A parasite,

So dangerous and causing near destruction, 
Preying to go back to normal, to return to the corruption,
False information, manipulation leading the population,
Applauding, showing merit, idolizing the few,
That instigated this violent yet insignificant war,
Against other species, against their own too,
Against anything that ing moves! 
All just pawns in their sadistic game,
We bend over and welcome the unwanted pain,

I hope the revolution of every living being,
Of all energy, this world beholds, 
Is strong enough to rid the parasite, 
That has fed on its soul and sucked it dry,
Is strong enough to extinguish humankind, 
Another extinct species to add to the pile,  

For the love of mother earth,
For all the blissful harmony,
For the deep spinning force within,
That continuous flow of connection,
For a natural vibration,
The only solution,
Is to rid the parasite that caused such destruction.

Moonlight

Moonlight, show me the way tonight,
I'm not friends with the sun anymore, 
He threw me out of the door,
I turn back to darkness,
Cradle me with your stars,
Tell me that we will go far,
And now I realize,
That every time I looked into those eyes,
Lies....Lies....Lies
Moonlight, show me the way tonight,
Tell me that this is right,
I should've listened to you from the start, 
Instead of listening to my own heart,
There's a day that I look back to your face,
All I could see was hate,
I'll never forget how you made me feel,
I was nothing, still I'm nothing,
It took a while to realize,
That I deserve better, 
Than you would ever,
See me....feelings
You didn't try....lies...lies.
Moonlight, save me tonight,
You were right,
I didn't listen,
To my intuition,
Maybe you forgot,
That i felt a lot,
Out the door, 
Back down on the floor,
I'm not friends with the sun anymore.

Intoxification

When she stops to think,
All the lost dreams, time gone,
Messed up memories,

She can't handle reality,
Always searching an escape, running away,
Running to another dead end street,

The dead end street,
Another line makes us feel,
Happiness that isn't real,
This dead end street,
Wrong turn to fake satisfaction,
Numb souls, blissful intoxification.....

Royalty

This royalty and hierarchy,
Makes little sense to me,
Being utterly against my morals, 
To praise any type of hypocrisy,
I haven't ever understood why they are ''better'' than us,
Born into wealth and placed on a throne,
Born into poverty and without a home,
How is this fair?a
This cannot be just,
They are no better,
Than any of us!
Those who wear the crown, 
Don't abide by the law, 
They are above all, 
They don't conform,
The severity of their crimes, 
Make no difference. 
We believe the hype,
And carry on with our lives,,
I'm not ignorant,
I'm not the norm,
I admire the French for past revelations,
If only the world would wake up,
Nation by nation,
Let the snakes slither away and interbreed,
But they are not going to affect me!!

Wondering

Green pine trees, 
In my line of vision, 
How many lives do you hold, 
Within your prison,
Just let go, 
Let them run away,
You're wasting your life,
Trying to make them stay, 
Blue skies, 
You hold so many lies,
Promising futures of bright sunshine,  
But you disappear into the night, 
Leave me wondering why...

Free From Love

 Not one sky that I see,
Is the same as the one I saw yesterday,
Just slight similarities,
Every moment so fragile and temporary.
I cannot promise anything,
I only reflect what I feel,
I cannot condemn myself,
To feel this way for eternity,
As the colours fade into the horizon,
Darkness will always be a companion,
All this disinterest towards love,
Dedication to what I had forgotten,
Desires only for a pure connection,
Who was enslaved,
Is ecstatic in the joy of being free,
One day I hope you realize,
The fear of repeat,
Who knows where this will lead,
Complications of ourselves,
Only we can simplify,
No room to disagree. ,

Sunrise

Waiting for the sun to go down,
Staying awake to see it rise,
Avoiding all things in life,
Ignoring the concept of time,
Letting it pass by,
Anulled but so fragile,
This loneliness doesn't leave me alone,
When in company, I fall into a hole,
Can't remember who I am,
Where is me?, my soul?
Reacting in acting,
Acting to be liked,
But this transparency,
Is noticed by all,
These worries and lies,
Corrupting my life,
Hours, weeks, days  go by,
Letting go, taking too much time,
All these steps take me higher,
Most of the time I'm too tired,
So I sit and wait to see the sunrise,
Not think that another day has gone by,
Know that i am closer to saying goodbye,
I try to be happy , try to perish this time,
Yet I have this dark hurt, sadness, rage inside. 
Nothing matters anyway. 
The sun rises to another day,
Nothing matters anyways.
