Modern Revolution

This is the time

to let go of

the precedents

that pollute our minds

We know not how

they've made us blind

to change, and truth

evolving so

we can move on

in spiritual flow

The Kids are coming

some in generation Y

have gone insane

but some survive

to guide and lead

our way out of old systems

as the hippies once did

we refuse to be victims

So that the babes of now

will take our lead

and we will grow

and we will feed

and reverse global warming

before it succeeds

our beautiful earth

let some of us bleed

for love and light

and unspoken truth

Let us not accept labels

and allegations we're "uncouth"

let us not accept prescriptions

to "control" our behaviours

let us not succumb to drugs, imbalance and misery

labeled as "mental illness"

Let us re-channel through art

writing, and innovative business

We demand to be seen, we demand to be heard!

for we won't be living dead

Solidarity between us

finding answers unsaid

You've kept so much from us

but look at us!

we'll write it, we'll sing it, in red

It's a Modern Revolution

But no violence; red be written...
