We listen to politicians promise to end poverty
We hear preachers plead for money to send people to evangelize
All we hear is talk of change
All we listen to are speeches filled with empty promises
And never do we see anything being done
So shut your mouth
and  
DO SOMETHING
Offer to buy lunch for that homeless man you see every day
Donate the clothes you do not wear anymore
Listen to those who trust you with their secrets
Stand up for those who won’t stand up for themselves
Stop talking about changing the world
Stop making promises
Shut your mouth and
just Do Something

you're a museum
and I love every piece of art

I keep
  falling into love
and walking into walls
tripping over boundaries
    and overstepping limits
I guess the only thing
  you left me
was a diminished
      sense of space.

We all will end all
I give you my word
I give you my world

Your agony
Neglect it
Slight
Desperate
The envy of the crowd

Your Great Men
I have seen them
White
Festering
They will not lead you

Your children
Forget us
Pious
Immaculate
We are proud liars

We will not fight for you
I have not fought for you
We do not know that there is fighting
Let alone what should be fought
We know moving images
We know nothing

My shame
A corruption no
Force can handle
A wound
A fissure
A severance

Not one will end all
I give you my word
I would if I could
Both the rich man and the poor man
Live in this fantasy world

The rich man wants more
While the poor man wants hope

More for anything
Nothing for hope

The rich man knows evil
While poor man knows hope

The rich man cries
While the poor man smiles

His confusing ways
With his tarnished eyes

All the poor man wants
Is to have hope from within

To hope for another
To fulfill his simple ways

we are all in the same game
just different levels
dealing with the smame hell
just different devils
