Start beyond
The madness of the crowd
From the heart
Of your inner darkness
Want respect?
Speak languages
Lose the weight
Of expectation
Lay off the fucking sandwiches
There’s no welfare cheque
The deck is stacked
against you
The fight is right
The system won’t save you
But your friends might
Luck is your last resort
Tomorrow is that day that
never comes
So show up in the flow
Dream your story into
your reality
Consciousness trumps ego
The politician is a ghost
Who preaches scarcity
Who feeds on the bones
of your contention
The fool who stokes the
flames of your doubts
And turns your dreams
to ashes
Before the day is out
Applaud the plight of
the bereaved souls
Who have said no to
that temptation
For they will not shake
the hand that was not put
there to feed them
They will not walk the path
with a stranger
They have lost their
inhibition
Redefining their perception
of danger
No road to perdition
No baby in a manger
They reach out to their
own gods
Who won’t listen to
your excuses
So spare us your fine
speeches
You are the bard of your
own salvation
The one true poet nation
Know your past
Own your present
Build your future
Don’t complain
Voice your tradition
Shine your light
Take off your blindfold
The sky is only too bright
If you have lived with
your eyes closed
Slavery has no colour
Power has no virtue
Values can be simple
Respect is an earned wage
Tell us your story
It will live forever
In the essence
Of someone else
Who loves you
Who is you
