Sometimes we have to stand up & believe in change even if it goes against all that we know |
-A Revolution I Suppose- by Keaton Foster You see that man He says that he has a plan A revolution I suppose One meant for change One meant to overcome He won’t stand For what’s going on How could he ever Some call him a rebel Not I Some call him a madman Not I He is smarter than most He speaks with such fervor That those truly listening Are unquantifiably changed Those only half aware Remain exactly the same With closed eyes they appear blind Proximity does not make them guilty Only their ignorance can ensure that When change comes They will be left behind On the doorstep of the past Who will raise them Who will feed their ache Not the man speaking Not those following him Not I I could feel sorry for them I should do something more But they have made their beds They have dug the hole To the depths they must go Fate is cruel Especially when it’s self-imposed Those of us ready to fight Will rise up From the ashes and decay Standing for something in our lives The only one we get Should we not give it heck How could we ever Allow ourselves to forget You see that man He has a plan What it is I don’t know I’m not sure But what he says What he confesses Sounds better than this The status quo must be changed A revolution I suppose… A Revolution I Suppose Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2012. |
