Are You Watching? Are you watching? Are you listening? Are you feeling it? Does the darkness overwhelm you? Do you need a light? Does the world upset you? Do you need a change? Are you watching? The rich are getting richer The poor are getting poorer There are innocent men in prison While liars and killers run free What are you doing? What are you doing to help? Sitting there, pretending to worry Get up off your ass! Are you listening? There's war drums and funeral dirges explosions and the cries of children All underscored by the snorts of war pigs What are you doing? What are you doing to help? Can you march and sing and chant? Can you Steal This Book and start a revolution? Come on, you Hoffmans and Kerouacs, Get up, stand up, and don't back down! Let's shoot for the dream we missed Let's create a new world, mired in love and peace and liberation In love, in life In spirit, in consciousness Let's change the world Let's hear some truth Are you feeling it? Let's do it! Are you feeling it? Let's go! (I really, really like this one. This one was the product of listening to Get Up Stand Up by Bob Marley and War Pigs by Black Sabbath too much. 'S one of the ones I'd like to set music to. Do you think it'd make a good song?)
Wow. This peice makes me want to go out and start a huge anarchist riot or something. No, I mean you reached out and touched me with this poem. Like it's time to do something, damnit. We speak of change and answers, yet we sit here on our asses. Let's go! I'm feeling it Thank you for sharing peace&love
