Fight for freedom

The world is gettin crazier everyday
The politics you see are a maze of decay
I'm trying to make it through life, living day to day
Makin ends meet, hey, but many cannot
Find a job, they're out of work and livin on the street
Blaming capitalism and Wall Street for the mess that they see
Looking to TV for clues of what they oughtta do
But the answer lies within an old document once framed
The Declaration of Independence
Signed by many in seventeen seventy
Six it was written to shift the power, fix the balance
And make us free (free free free)
We had to fight for the right to become a nation
Now the media feeds you disinformation
And tries to get you hooked on all kinds of medication
The same shit's playing on every station
In the meantime Uncle Sam is reachin in your pocket
Feelin around til he finds your wallet
Empties it out to play another round of golf
Now, how much more injustice can you swallow?
It's time not to follow time to stand up for what's right
Clocks and watches tickin quicker in the middle of the night
Every minute every second that we're living we must fight
It's our God-given duty to protect the light

So many times throughout history
People fought for freedom and liberty
Just everyday people like you and me
Take down the king and make a new country
Now it's time once again to pick up the mighty pen
Writin words to restore our great nation and then
Sharpen swords because words won't always make you win
It's not a battle of will, it's a matter of when

drowning rain, burning flame

Sharp, arising from below
Stabbing deep nowhere to go
slowly seeking light calls my name
Shadowed visions fan the flame

Raindrops falling on a passing car
Waving as all of them fall.
I am rain and hit the grit and feel like shit
Meant to water plants but drown them instead.
flowing back to ocean, with no way out, doomed to fail every time.

Without a use, the noose grows loose.
feeling fiber of rope, finding something once lost.

"pour the gas, light the match, burn".

Waiting for a way out I shout at the rain clouds
they've locked in moisture to keep me under control.
Heat rises heart flies as skies are blue I burn
Fueling inferno raging I go consuming all I earn

Enemy of myself, words are but weapons of war.
