late night
glass of cheap wine
sounds beat in my head
in the background
memories
laced with love
tangeled in fear
held above
watching over us
the ones who escaped
made it out alive
those of us who survived
cause there is a war
no one seems to see
rather they ignore it
balme there pain on each other
on there lover or there brother
then go right back out
and feed the beast
we travel now
at the grace of those
who give us wings
who give us food
who provide us with what we
need to make it day to day
worn clothing
torn mittens
broken zippers
balck jackets
make us monks
that fade into the shadows
into the sunset
modern day warriors
or modern day saints
sinners who were lifted out
of the sea of lies
out of the system that may as well
be a beast
we speak silently
through our hearts
we interconnect
nothing can tear us apart
we were brought together
by something greater
then i can dare explain
so i wont
i will drink my cheap wine
and make love till i die
cause in a world
where our leaders create
theater wars
just to show how brave
they are
where they kill babies
just to buy bigger cars
it hurts to see to know and believe
the truth is not what most are told
so i made a choice to not grow hard
i would rather cut out my heart
we walk side by side
we dont speak for there
are eyes all around
they here everything you say
everything we do is
captured
a million eyes hanging above us
in the sky
they archive
our life
so now why i ask'
whats the point
it isnt making people better
it isnt stopping crime
what is the reason
maybe i know
maybe i dont
the only thing i know is
as long as i am alive
there are a few things
i most do
like love everyone like myself
like live to give not to take
but wait
thats not the message i hear
i hear take fill your wallet
fill your house
the only way out of fear
is money
an illisoun
a lie
a system
a disguise
its not real
escape
how did we get out
alive
with our souls still in place
cause that is what they take
they tear it out of your body
when your not looking
when your comfortable
when your sitting
in front of your tv
or in your merceds
somedays i wake up
i go on the subway
to the underground
i look around
for souls
that are not dead to the sound
of love
but i see empty
eyes
empty
heads
empty
souls
staring back
at me
where did they all go
the system
missed a few
like me
a small thing
who speaks
in stories and poems
cause it is the only freedom i have left
freedom is owned
by corperations
no more choices you have to go
where they tell you to
buy what they sell you
who are you without your tv
without your car
take it away
its all ashes and dust
it will burn
burn
burn
and there will be nothing of all those things
you sold your heart to
your love to
your soul
sell your soul to the anti truth
the anti compassion
anti hope
anti love
anti health
anti spirit
anti soul
anti art
anti indiviuality
anti free
anti expression
anti interaction
may as well be
the anti christ
who was christ anyways
someone who came and said
get over it
get over it
it is finished
stop being guilty
stopping being afriad
stopping hurting each other
the president
dosent know the same God
the one he listens to
tells him to do
horrible things
like kill the innocent
but he is only a puppet
it is the master above him
who pulls the strings
the new babylon is coming
next thing you know
they'll be telling us
we have to have a chip
inside of our hand
i dont understand
why no one is
connecting
the dots lately
its like all these things
are normal
like the fact
that we have made war
a soap opera
a game
a show
a playhow can we stop
stop buying cars
start walking
stop buying things
you dont need
live to feel
live to give
live to love
live to exsist
in something other
then one big mall
a mall of lies
created to blind your eyes
to take away your soul
leave you a black hole
so we gather
around in the shadows
we see
both sides
the war
is not for money
it is for life
for souls
for love
for hope
we will fight back
till be die
and when i do
fade away
i will look back
with a smile on my face
cause this world
is temporary
life is
like a vapour
comes and goes
we gather
in silence
we come together
to support
to feed each other
then we go to
our corners
of the world
and we do
all we can
to undo
the damage
for the war
is not about
anything
but the souls
to try
to burst
to peirce
to open
to undo
to let people
feel again
from the heart
so i sit
drinking cheap wine
i say goodnight
i say goodbye
and yet i will always
be here
on the otherside
of what i write
or create
or paint
cause i may fade
but these things
will remain
for it is the way
it must be
cause there are to many lies
and despit
my failure
and my sin
i still feel
my soul
and it says
to say
dont be afriad
forget guilt
love
and live
love
is
the
only
thing
that
really
matters
now
so
dont
be
afriad
