I use to wake up
each day
Proud
of who I am
Leading by example
Fallen but dusted off
My door was open
My shirt was yours
My time was given
I asked no reward
My life has changed
and I still remain
even though
my Situation now causes strain
I lost my home
My life
Children
and wife
To a revolution
that invaded my life
without care
of the toll they took
I Spoke up
for those in need
I Spoke up
for movements to be free
I Spoke up
For religions,
For races,
and sexual orientations
I stood hand in hand
with a dying man
who illness made other ran
I watched Him fade
I watched other go away
I watched lovers scold his name
All because he had aids
Today
I am not a person
because I have been labeled
Today
I am not received
Because I don’t march in step
I am not tolerated
Because I dare to be free
I am out
Because I refuse
To pander
to new school
the movement of fake
Educated and dedicated
to eliminate
and assimilate
Individualism
is Fading
Group identity
in its place
Groups are ranks
by degree
and established
by unknown decree
Groups now fight
for the scraps
that remain
As the elite
Laughs and Speculates
about the odds
that you will remain
Chambers are waiting
as the masses deteriorate
it is so much easier
when everyone segregates
Rivers in oil
Fish without air
soon you might even have to
pay for air
Government no friend
Corporation are globalized
Their power is now unionized
No more need
for all to survive
war abounds
famine surrounds
Pestilence profound
Death abound
all while no-one
is looking around.
