LOOK AROUND:
Sometimes i look at the faces around me
wondering whats wandering through their minds
what causes them to do the things they do
how do they posess such hate and bigotry
are their ears filed with so much ignorance that values cant get through?
sometimes i wonder who or what feeds them this information
was it the everday corruption and violence in this land?
or was it societys peer pressure of acceptance?
but sometimes i blame television and other influences
will i ever know the reasons for their actions?
will i ever know why i do the things i do!?
a lack of morals has taken the world by hand
a lack of education has been given to us
i look around at these masks
the masks people use to cover up their true selves
conformity wil set them right, or so they believe
i look around at the many people who are all my brothers and sisters
i can not feel hate ,for they are brainwashed
molded into what they are by corporate America
when i see those bitter souls, i can only feel pity
pity for their weak minds that can not stand up for themselves
so they have to follow trends
so they turn to hate and violence
and i look around and still say...."but why?"
IF SHE KNEW:
I think the world of her but she doesnt know
and she dont care
i notice the things others dont
sometimes i cant help but stare
what is it about this girl that drives me wild
cause she never even said a word to me
only if she could look through my eyes
and see what i see
only if she could understand
cause words cant express my emotions
and i only fumble with my actions
but she dont even know i exist
just some other nameless kid in the hall
in her life I'm insignificant and small
but i tell ya, the feelings arent reversed
and only if she knew..
she never got to know me
but oh i wish she had
shes the queen and im the pheasant
eye contact just wasnt enough
but what could i do
cause then i saw him
should i move on
should i give up
she broke my heart when she never knew she kept it goin
everyday was just as lonely for her as it was for me
so why did i wait, why did i wait
cause now its too late
but only if she could understand
only if she knew...
NEVER AGAIN:
Never again will we walk on the good green Earth
Never again will we breathe the air
Never again wil the sun shine so bright
And never again will the sea be clean
Cause we are now civilized
We've evolved smart
We've survived
But never again will a generation grow old
Never again will the truth be told
Never again will sympathy be held
Never again will freedom ring
Cause this is the civil nation
This is the new world
Forget the past
Bring in the new
Bigger.
Better.
Competition
Not sensibility
Technology is our mother
Technology is our fear
Say its for the good
When we know its for the worst
Denial is our savior
Never again will we worry about crime
Never again will war be so pathetic
Never again will the USA come in last
But in truth
History repeats itself
And again, we will die off as fast.
Isolation, isolation
amputation, amputation
the choice wasnt there
the desicion wasnt fair
but actions were taken
and the ground is still shaken
years have gone by
but children still cry
i realize that it will never end
the emotional scars can never mend
war, war
no more, no more
boundry lines, boundry lines
land mines, land mines
we're here safely in our rooms
but they're surviving by workin at their looms
our troops set up the mines
all they did to end it was put up some signs
they forget, forget
cuz treaties were met
but there are towns that live in the past
a place where limbs dont last
theres a perimeter around this town
and inside, everyone wheres a frown
theres no doctors in the land of mines
so whatcha gonna with wounds of all kinds
legs
now wooden pegs
take a good look at the kids
a generation of flaccids
will the terror ever seize
cant you hear the pleas
civilians that didnt ask to live liek this
in a fear from a forgotten war that will never dismiss
well horrors from war will always stay
and the innocent are the ones who pay..
IS ANYBODY THERE?
hello?
is anybody there?
i speak but no responce
i ask questions but get no answers
my shouts have no echo
is anybody there?
does anybody care?
my face is blue
but what else is new
ive chanted
spoken
screamed
writen Asides
but my opinions dont matter
is there anybody there?
or is it that you just dont care?
hello?
why cant you see the thousands
why cant you hear the people
we couldnt make ourselves any more clear
the tabloids show our presence
so somebody is noticing
but is our direct audience?
we arent protesting to each other
but why wont you listen?
is anybody there?
does anybody care?
you wont know any different until you open your mind
stop being blinded by your ignorance
in every circumstance your wrong
greed is not a reason
apathy is your high
we adcovate but no ones listens
yet we still try
"go my child
into the wild
our quaint village is set from civilazation
go explore this large nation
bring back the intellect
from a far away sect
what am i missing outside of our jungle
what can make my mind boggle"
off goes the innocent adolecent
not knowing whats to his amazement
"my father i am back
and i survived a violent attack
this jungle was of no other
not made by Earths mother
i stammered in fright
shocked at the very sight
people killing people
people killing animals
robotic lives
loud projectile knives
only preserved trees
dirty fog
clean bodies
dirty minds
clean food
noise pollution
light pollution
advertising
fashions
classes
divisions
sects
factions
gangs
talk of unity
actions of global war
disease
chemicals
warfare
welfare
pestiside
homocide
money
death
greed
killing
no time for sleep
violence
a status quo
violence
heros
violence
zeros
violence
confusion
and more violence..
i can never go back
all my thoughts only travel through black
i can never be the same
ive seen a place run in shame
now i have the disease
dont go to this jungle please
the world is going to die and it isnt fair
all from their jungle of despair"
LET ME DREAM
let me dream
of peace
equal prosperity
where freedom rings on forever
fear is forgotten
enjoyment is unpaid
greetings to all
scent is pleasurable
sight is heart-warming
hearing is extacy
touch sends me to cloud nine
every taste is unimaginable
where the butcher butches heads of lettace
every creature is free from menace
but this peace will never happen
but my dreams are even corrupted by violence
every thought is a bloody mess
but why cant i at least dream of a sanctuary
a better place to get away
a world which may work
an earth with an anarchy society filled with love, not chaos
why wont you let me dream
i want to dream
i want it to be reality
but that will get my hopes up
so just let me dream
let me dream!
LOST..
love is lost
so wont you be my compass
be my tour guide through this unsightly world
but let us stop to smell the roses?
i am lost
show me the way
hate is the rising trees that blocks my path
i avoid the trees but get lost
all i need is you to be my compass
bring me to the secret garden
let us bathe in the fountain of youth
many are lost as well
and many look for love
they strive for youth
they strive for love
they strive for a compass
as do I, strive for you
i am still lost
please be my compass...
TKAE A BETTER LOOK
Take a better look
stop at where you stand
what in your life is important
and what is your care
life is beautiful and you take it for granted
selfish life, too busy for the world
say you have it rough
but the simplicity you interact with is a joke
you dont do anythign for this world but destroy it
just stop and look up
gaze at the sky
gasp at the ocean
gawk at the wilderness
and find all the glory within nature
life isnt built on an assembly line
or produced by a multi-national corporation
strung out by the blood soaked hands of stocks
life is structured by love
you create cold isolation to its compassion
take a better look at the tears
take a better look at yourself
take a better look within
FORECAST OF DEPRESSION
Sun beats down another day
I follow no path and have no destination
I take advantage of the day by just stepping out
how glorious it is to be alive
I proclaim freedom without a doubt
I seize the peace and have my fun
but their is grey
the black where there is blue
maybe down the street
or maybe over the river
or even across the country
wherever it may be, the people know it
and it travels like the weather
to and fro, to and fro
some get hit like a tornado
others like a fog
everyone experiences the depression
but you cant fear the bitter frost
so take heed the heat
such mass confusion
In a perfect dillusion
The people so lovely
and then there is me
Why do I care for falseticity
self pity. oh pity. oh pity.
