THE BATTLE OVER YOUR MIND
There
is a battle you may not see
A
battle for silent slavery
One
opened and one closed door
The
great Armageddon tug of war
The
pull of hatred, the pull of love
To
determine finally, what you’re made of
They
want you; they need you
To
question everything that you do
To
turn from inner guidance proof
To
buy the vile and distorted truth
To
side with dark shadows of fright and fear
Hoping
your hope will disappear
Cut
into brown, red, white and black
Painting
a future, preparing for attack
There
is a battle you may not see
Cashing
in on your slavery
Media
mayhem makes you nuts
Mental
bruises, bleeding and cuts
Lost
are the sacred and the sanctity
You
scream in your search for sanity
News
forecasts are drizzly and dreary
You
collapse in a crush, down and weary
There
is a battle for your mind
They
need you deaf, dumb and blind
But
even in darkest night of the soul
There
is something they can’t control
You
have your choice; you have your will
That
lingering voice … small and still
It
never left; it was there at the start
The
very first breath, the first beat of your heart
When
children ran on simple playground
The
smiles and giggles on merry go round
Before
grades, punishment and lessons in hate
Before
we found reason to hesitate
Learned
over time, the dissonant note
Off
rhythm and rhyme, a hole in this boat
Though
deep inside we know what is real
It
goes against what they’ve taught us to feel
So
we do away with “they” – we take us back
And
return the limited view of lack
For,
there is no red, white, blue or black
We
end the tug of war and endless attack
We’re
left with a lingering ally and friend
One
who never has to retreat or defend
It’s
all right here, in me and you
We
need not question what we do
We
need not wonder who we are
The
inner message now not too far
We
can curtail this mind control today
The
media blasts no longer hold sway
We
can escape the invisible slavery
In
bypassing the battle we can now finally see…
