ripple in time

 

 

There's a ripple in my time
that knows it has lost it's way
and the children of today
they're weary to look to the morrow
for the stained streets we've set to borrow
permanently
with occupied nations
military rule
dictating to dictators
a democracy run by a fool
with lies and deceit
they've lost it complete
so it's back to the street
to see if this country still has a heartbeat

it's not about politicians and war
it's not about conquests and monetary gains
it's about filling the solar plexus
with stained glasses windows and panes
into the soul
where windows open revelation
and revolution and challenge the status quo
to bring in to the know
how to find a beating heart
in a nation so torn apart

Please open your insides
let them spill out on to the sidewalk
and when those riches start to cling clang
on the concrete
let the bum pick em up and buy a bottle of vino
let him tip his bottle to you

let the night get drunk on your generosity
and when morning comes
see that you saved enough to fuel
to warm your home
and nothing more

Please drop off your dirty laundry
at the cleaners
let them clean your cum stained dress
let them take another inch out of the
waist band of your trousers
pick em up on your way home to
spend the evening with your kids

put aside the shame of your life
put aside the fame in your strife
show me you got what it takes
to put up with all the fakes

the children of today
aren't gonna wait around
to hear words meant to be profound
they want action and strength
someone willing to go to any length

so reach deep inside
grab that muscle in your chest
pull it out through rib bones
let us hold up it's beat
to the wind
let it travel it centrifical circles
gaining speed as is spins
punch a whole in it's cadence
sending shockwaves to
to the oceans and altering the course
of the atlantic current
melt icebergs with the shift
of salt water content
throw your weight around the tides
and show your ripple in time
