Just as the old world seem at its darkest The old ways of sleaze and corruption, of mean-mindedness, exploitation and manipulation must go If not we will sleep walk to oblivion Long ago we gave up our power To the priests, the politicians, to all the present governors of our world They got lost in sleaze and self-ambition Creating venal solutions only each others stupidity and corruption to guide them We the common man and woman, disgusted, turned away Confused Sickened by the ugliness they made from power We turned back to work, family and friends And tried to forget them And hoped in vain somehow we would all be saved in the end Now we are approaching the end The end of their hopeless games Religion Government Authority Finance All fails They thought they could govern using only the hard face of knowledge Wisdom and compassion and dreams withered down the years Now we approach our black future That screams 'The End!' Now we must take back the power Again The sick power-addicted suit-clothed thugs who rule our world have forfeited the power we gave them Their sick and cynical nature breeds on itself spawning only more dead minds They will drag us to the depths We must take from them their power They have failed and failed and failed us Because we hoped in vain Because we felt alone Because we doubted ourselves Because we believed in them Because we were confused Because we felt afraid The world they built is sick and dying the world of cynical greed and exploitation the world of fear and darkness They will not give up the power They believe their every lie They see the world corrupt They believe you must manipulate to survive Their way is a slf-fulfilling prophecy Just look in the eyes of a child It doesn't have to be this way We must take back the power we gave Refuse them the green power they crave It's time for a clean new start Even now when all looks so dark Come join me now today... There' a world to win To Battle!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
