It Is Time To Make Our Stand!

It Is Time To Make Our Stand!

We are left here to to take a look at we need to redefine,
Take a step back, and look through the sands of time.
Look deep within yourself and you will see, that the worst of your fears have yet to be set free.
You used to scream and wish for your dreams, but when you think about it, is it really was it 
what it was cracked up to be?
" Slavery " is not a term against minorities, for when we are born, we are all slaves to the 
system,
Allowing ourselves to bowled over, like the world was built upon masochism.
Now, here me out before you think I am calling for a rebellion of a sadist nation,
I do not tolerate discrimination, it doesn't matter what your color or creed.
You will always have friends by your side, that will guide you through all of your needs.
Time to take the pain that civilization has endured and use it to put these trivial issues to rest.
I know that if we at least try and use our heart, everything will turn out for the best.
The end of our time will be the worst we will see,
That is why I ask you all to take a minute, stop, and listen to me.
It is time for my defeat to lead everyone else away from this animosity.
If you do not understand anything else, I pray that you will understand this,
Whatever hardships come your way, do not turn and run away, for doing so will play right into 
your tormentors hand.
Stick together, unite as one, and no matter what shall come of it, I promise you that doing this 
you can fight it all, and then you will truly make your stand.
