Raw Power
Your pain, and
Your agony
Fall off of your shoulder,
Onto your bed, willingly
Knowing the heartache
That struggles like a ship lost to the sea
The weight has been anchored for now
But the brambles, rumbles bumps and boos
Stumble through one eye to the next
Where has all the green gone too?
We disguise it ourselves as an entire society
Sabotaging each other day to day
Drowning in useless facts that make the machine more powerful
Making minorities even more minor
Making our songs seem even less provoking
And turning it all into a big joke
Bravery stops being brave
Courage stops being courageous
Fear and dispair have taken courage and
Conquered us
Now you know the stem
How much more can you chew til your body explodes?
We donβt need them
WE
NEED
YOU
Now, knowing what cracks the back
Now, knowing how the eyes read words
You can find the salad of earth
Make it
Share it
Feel it stick between your gums and teeth
Flesh and bone
Rember it, savor it. Keep it.
Hold tightly to your ideas
Sleep eat wake and walk
With them always in the palm of your hand
