Become your own leader!

Contributed by lostrelic on Wednesday, 27th July 2011 @ 02:08:00 PM in AEST
Topic: oops



There comes a time in our lives when we must stop and decide our fate.
When whispering change goes from the diners and living rooms to the streets.
Voices from all revolutionist, activists and protesters join to gather our strengths
When we all become our own leaders or Anonymous that is your fate.

Time is coming that this road will lead us astray.
That building the system on the backs of the poor will eventually fall away.
Our voices raised for equality in a global spirit.
Taking back the land for our future generations to live it.
Faith not from a deity, but the nature of the lands.
Taking the reigns from our leaders blood stained hands.

We can't expect another to clean up our mess.
That is old thought and look what they left.
Islands of plastic and pollution in the sea.
Leaving us in toxic misery.
Stand for your fellow man, speak for those who hold no voice.
Take to the streets, follow the right choice.
Let us stand for what is right.
Let us stand for the hope of humanity's fight.

Raise your fists in the air, drop the chains we create.
Let our numbers decide our own true fate.
We are numerous, they are so few.
Why do we always give them the prettier view?
Leave ideas of old, pave new highways that are best.
Open your heart, let love do the rest.

very nicely done! I applaude you for having the fortitude to speak out! sometimes that is what needs to be done. I also have one that speaks out against the way things are done, it is called "What Happens?" check it out. its one of my older posts

True, there is a point where you have to take a stand, no matter what the potential cost.
After all, what is life if you can only live it by someone else's dictatorship?
