I've had enough
of the --
backward thinking,
foolish notions
claim the floor.
The daily news
floods your mind
leaving just a stupor,
defining and deceiving
what will be the future.
I've had enough of
corporate interest --
leaders on the take,
showing no compassion
just a lot of hate.
Pretending and believing
there is no
better way, to shine
a light of
desperate truth.
Smiling and cajoling
as they look --
the other way,
standing at attention
waving at a flag.
I've had enough of
things unsaid..,
left without a purpose,
meaningless --
and empty.
Condoning by ignoring
leaves us all behind,
embarrassing and grave,
beyond --
the very pale.
Deplorable and scandalous
they feed --
the fear inside,
growing like a cancer
nowhere left to hide.
They play us like
a fiddle --
lack of any vibe,
strum us like a banjo
minus all the shine.
Time to show some
wisdom -- character
and depth,
caring for the living
hopeless and afraid.
I've had enough of
war and death --
starving children knows
no borders, can't you
hear them cry…

YEAH!
I agree 100 percent. I believe it's time to speak out and make a change.
Lets do it...
I have had enough of all of this too....you're speaking many thoughts I've had lately!
People have been feeling like this for a long time... Do you remember this speech from "Network" the movie -- (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Network)
I didn't remember it, but after looking at it a moment ago what's crazy is that it applied back then and still does now. I will say however, that I really DO believe that things are changing but that change won't happen from the gov't down. Maybe I'm naive but I really believe that today, it's about a change in consciousness and this will change everything including our government. My fingers are crossed that this will happen without too much tumult.
Your best yet, @macksby. This one resonates so much with me. The image works perfectly as well.
Thanks @ericvancewalton... Enough already.., right?!
Yes!
Make a song of it! This one is really good !
Awesome stuff, your words manage to capture a lot of the feeling and thoughts that I am personally having. If one suffers, we all suffer.
I believe we should connect locally and expand the network with other like minded groups:
http://freedomcells.coeo.cc/
In terms of aligning our thoughts and emotions into action, I have come to believe that establishing local communities is the best way forward. Essentially instead of begging or fighting each other for scraps from the masters' table, we create our own table.
(I am not affiliated with the freedom cell network, but I have joined as it seems great.)
