Mighty Strong Nation

Mighty strong nation 
Truth be told 
I am not sold 
On the lies that be 
I hope you take no offense to me 
Open your eyes 
The revolution will not be televised 
Open your eyes 
The revolution will not be deterred by lies
I can’t give up a little freedom for safety
That would be weakly 
That would be hasty 
Fight for the truth to be brought
To the light 
Put your fists up and fight 
It’s not about the color of your skin 
It’s about freedom in this country we live in 
To be a revolutionary 
Is to be considered a radical extremist!
Don’t get caught up in the lies 
Just open your eyes

Stirring Time

Rhythm and flow 
and spirit moves,
I stand here stirring time 
Following the mist filled path guided 
by echoed chants of the saints of old,
to a place forgotten in a time
to be revealed once again 
in the hearts of the old, 
Illuminating the Dream to reveal 
The illusion that has filled minds
With despair and fear
Rising tides abides 
As labyrinth paths arise
Setting faith in the awakening minds

Neglected

Alone and dead 
Stabbed in the heart, stomach and head.
Sick of being Screwed over 
Tired of being the one left for dead.
It is never me or so is said 
They just like to screw with my head 

Tired of crying myself to sleep 
Tired of being the one to weep 
I just can’t see it not being me 
Living with me must be like agony 
Because it always winds up the same 
They must get tired of me cause I am just a flame 

The one to forgive to easily
And the one to always get stomped you see
I guess we all must accept our place 
We all can’t be happy 
It is what it is =( !!!!

Inside the Warriors Circle

Watching from the outside. 
So serious hardly a smile for the world to see.
So when you smile in my presents it is such a blessing to me. 
To the world you are closed and cold. 
To me you let your world unfold. 
Telling me what ever comes to your mind.
Telling me all of your accomplishments. 
And all about you growing up.

Inside the warriors circle it is no game,
Since stepping inside I’ll never be the same. 
Inside the warriors circle is where I’ll be,
Just incase anyone’s looking for me.
Inside the warriors circle I found my home, 
There are People like me I never would have known.

Truly you have shown me that a warrior in disguise is what I have been all my life.
That I have the heart of a warrior and I never would have known.
Had you not let me in and shown me what you have shown..

Inside the warriors circle is where you found your fame, 
And I’ll stand by and watch even after there is no more flame.

Inside the warriors circle is where I will grow, 
Where I will end up only the creator really knows.
Inside the warriors circle is where I thank you, 
For showing me what you have. 

A warrior of the physical being! 
A warrior of knowledge!
A warrior of spirit! 
Is what I have been seeing 
I thank the universe for the being that you are,
And I hope that no matter where this takes us your never very far 

From a warriors heart to a warriors heart 
Peace and blessings and may the universe keep you safe
~Saphire~
