People In The Dark, Lacking Soul and Heart

People in the dark

lacking soul and heart

bless vision upon you

may you see the light

May you see the strife

and not be fogged and blinded

by obedience to something

that whispers; "don't have kindness

or you could lose it all

or you could likely fall

into an ocean of abyss

security amiss

And dare you not look down at your feet

and see the People pining

or under sheets, that in which they end up

when they die by a chronically empty cup

You say it is not your business

and your business is business

keep your family

wolf pack oh so close

and feed, and train, and boast

and build elaborate walls

so you can't hear the calls

Of humanity

raise your young to breed

and protect, and feed

off others ill-fated losses

So you can stay The Bosses

and be them strong, and keep

your wealth inside

though where you comfortably lie

is where others have died...

May you see the light

may you feel their pain

if you not, than your children

can learn to share your gains

and provide shelter from rain

The consequences won't be as

dismal as you have been taught

for Karma has been sought

with love successfully

you love that word but don't believe

and you are not really "so free"

It's not grand to swim in gluttony

though it carries the illusion of comfort, see

that it is no match

for real glory

Everyone can be fed

everyone can be led

to thrive and live in love

from the heart of what's above

You'd be surprised at how rich you'd feel

if you would see what is real

and not an Illusion of luxury

that exists by creating suffering

and it is on your head

don't turn a blind eye ‘til more are dead

when you can break the bread

There is no need to fear

that parting will mean loss

for what you'd gain in spirit

would allow you to walk across

the bridges one can build

to close the gaps of "loss"

For trails can be added

to this truly earthly map

when solidarity occurs amongst

those who've escaped the traps

So those who have the means

and those who have the beans

can be share, and plant, and reap

on mountains even steep

And those who retain the average mean

in exchange for minion from human being

open up your heart

to all forms of art

to viewing individuals

and not caste by caste

in the form of classified

and in the position

of "the race"

For everyone has a place

a unique quality to give

and if they are oppressed they live

in blinding agony

They're people taken by the dark

the ones who came; to come apart

for not following majesty

and being called a travesty

love has granted them amnesty

because they can't eat pittons

because they don't have mittens

And how can they bow

when they freeze

and how can they smile

and still appease

when they are being oppressed

when they are barely dressed…

Oh, people in the dark

though you don't have the heart

you remain unjustly in power

but this is going to change

the People are getting tired

and you will soon be fired

for policies

we will demand change

till there's no choice

but to rearrange

And your children may see

the love you can't see

and those who suffer

will eventually be free

either in heaven or on earth

there will be rebirth

As we speak out in our truth

as parties now aloof

will be forced to look close

and like or not the dose

of blatancy received

the conveniently blamed

will be reprieved

when we demand injustice to leave!

Your descendants will be a minority

like that in which we've endured to be

and there will be no authority

that tells what are the words

that runs a fearful herd

We'll govern to prevent sorrow

we'll govern in love and peace

in mutual agreement, it's possible

and feasible to teach

and joyously we'll reach

past former limitations

we'll create many new creations

and the Dark can be lit, to cease
