Citizens 7 Billion strong. |
Fix The Wall By: Doug Gealy We the citizens Depend on our government For better and for worse Bailouts Welfare Alternative energy Healthcare Wilderness and species preservation Positive change to name a few But we know there is no clean coal We know oil companies are too powerful to dethrone We know the promise of transparency only goes so far As far as the closed door that’s guarded and locked We know the money in expansion and harvest speaks loudly Louder than a dwindling species could ever whimper We know change comes out of necessity We know the bailouts are a quick fix A bandage over a gash that will likely lead to a crippling economic collapse An inevitable amputation to restless infection But not to worry only the youth will suffer Only the future is in question We the Citizens Know We throw blame at individuals Departments The Government as a whole The man behind the wheel For failures and shortcomings we do little to prevent or turn around They write the rules While we lye idle in obedience Complaining in a pile of our own drool To fool a fool To speak without breath We shout within In a world filled to the brink with citizens Leaders lead Where are those to follow? Are our hands to withered to handle? Our feet to heavy to lift to higher heights Our schedules to busy to make room Minds too cluttered to recognize the inevitable truth Are we incapable? Unable to help Have we surrendered? Given in, given up? People are power Citizens carry the heart The heart behind the walls of every Government In the United States of America we beat Blood pumping life into the toes of our wondering feet Governments should fear their people Not the other way around Restrained and afraid Detached from our lands decisions We are so quite they have to tap our phones In order to listen In times of great change Complacency has no home Change should be collaborated Ideas today Solutions tomorrow Together we can do anything The walls of great Nations only crack for lack of support Soar and scratched voices Repeat them selves Including myself I have done nothing I am merely a drooling voice Barely able to shout Settled in our technological And medical stimulants The dull reflections Misinformed perceptions The ups and downs of prescription pills While friction grinds We dull and bare it Fiction thrills the lives we endlessly wait to live Seeing the world Hearing the world Through the face of static television Contained and manipulated by Power dressed up as Money Scripting every station While the truth is out there Like the common phrase If you want something done right Do it yourself I say together In a World seven billion strong America sinks under trillions in debt Our leader, President Obama cracks and folds under the relentless pressure Of the uncountable burdens he inherited This Country, was founded by rebels Has our fight evaded us? We are 310,000,000 lead by one Let us learn to lead as all The great President Obama The great government of America cannot save us all We the citizen, are the bulk The Heart behind the wall Fight, act, speak your truth, find your purpose, and take stride Take pride in the passion that fills your core Share the burden Fix the wall Bad economy and all Help is wanted everywhere Share the burden Fix the wall If parrots speak If parrots fly Why can’t Patriots speak as we fly to greater heights? The new horizon of citizen’s rights Ripe and waiting for new formations Waiting for citizens, waiting for freedom Let us find this new age together Seven billion strong, together Fix the wall Or tear each and every one of them down Choose Seven billion can always choose Seven billion will always win If only we pursue The question isn’t why don’t we? The question is why don’t you? |
