War 4 sale

Vacuum

By Jjenni Dagnelli Published 4 years ago 1 min read

War 4 sale

In this world I stand in the disillusioned atmosphere that good will conquer all evils

Triumphing over the darkness

So many voices have been silenced for “the greater good”

That never could hold its own weight

It crawls into your pocket and tries to take a hole

What should you do?

Anyone can do nothing at all

Anyone can turn a deaf ear to the many voices crying out in pain and fear

Anyone can forget

Anyone can pretend that nothing at all is happing so better not to disturb their own sleep

You put your back against a wall and sing out loudly in the rain

Taking the momentum into your heart

Never let the lies take hold of your soul

Live the dream

Confront the scream

And remember

When everyone else has forgotten that you too were once the same

Though different now through the change

Life is here where you keep it near

But just as far as people try to destroy it

Never having a chance to enjoy it

While there are people who will only condemn you for it

Stand up strong

And live life long

Don’t keep the choice in the voice as something that does not belong
