It's a short slam i wrote for my first slam performance ever.
Yesterday goes away and we wait for tomorrow to come
We don’t know where we’re going but wonder where we’re from
The new day may dawn but we remain carved from stone
The earth may still revolve; we’ll always end up a pile of bones
Stashed under the ground, blackened to ashes, tossed in the waves
We revolt, we riot, hope for change through our rants and raves
I talk about ‘we’, associating you with me, making you a part of me
Because ‘We’ is a single entity, behind different shadows we share the same identity
Like moths to a light, like fish to a bait, for nothingness we are prepared to fight
Human beyond repair, our fate converges towards despair
Robot to a routine, our flesh covers the joints of a machine
Separate we cannot be, together we resent to be
So where is the compromise, the solution to our demise?
How do we turn We into Him, Her, You and Me?
How do we turn We into Him, Her, You and Me?
I wish we had a clue, because alone none of us will make it through.
