The Dance of Your Blood
Rev. O'Loution 2000 (Your Hearts)
What is ‘freedom’?
Something that we all hang on to
Yet is taken from the people that need it
What is ‘money’
Something that we all hang on to
Yet is taken from the people that need it
What is ‘life’?
Something that we all hang on to
Yet is taken from the people that need it
What one word
Do we all claim to hang on to
But is taken and makes the rich twisted?
Power is what
Makes the world a polluted mass
In which people suffer, and lives get taken
For a lost cause
Of which we do not understand
But the state funded criminals rake in
Is it the time
To take what we deserve?
The pendulum of power is forever broken.
What will happen
When we have had enough of
Pointless, permanent and aimless hoping?
Hoping is what
Keeps the world on its axis
Praying for balance and incredible wishes
However the
Hope feels as if it’s useless
Cracks of society sealed with kisses
Of which they do
Come from the mouth of people
Who eat seeds straight from your dishes
And implant the
Roots for the start of
The rising of the unrepresented masses
About this poem
Take back what you deserve. End what you suffer from. Represent the wrongfully oppressed. Take that which you are taken away from.
