Think & Question

Think & Question

Open that door

Ring the bell

Time for school to start

File the children inside

Cram them in a closed room

Trapped in a single desk

Don't talk without permission

Don't whisper or pass notes

Listen to what your teacher says

They know that one plus one doesn't always equal two

They won't tell you that

Only what they want you to know

Do not ask questions

They want control over what you learn

Just sit and listen like good little drones

If you escape with your minds intact

You will be able to think

To question everything

To have creativity and imagination

You will not be a drone

Ignoring everything you have been taught

You will be a human being with a mind

And you will rule the world

The Other Side of the Fence

The Other Side of the Fence

What is on the other side

What are the things I have heard about

Hidden from my eyes

Covered sounds, so I cannot hear

It may be some secret

Maybe the men in black

I want to know

My soul needs to know

But my questions go unanswered

I will just have to guess

Dreams of so many wild thoughts

Spies, UFOs and so much more

Hiding behind that wooden fence

Someday I will climb that fence

I will sneak in through the tall grass

I will find out

And only then will I sleep

Get Your Voice Heard

Get Your Voice Heard

A long time ago

Fifty plus years to be exact

We knew how to protest

It wasn’t on Facebook or Twitter

It wasn’t by just writing letters

We took our place in the world

With a voice that could not be ignored

We took over college campuses

We marched in the streets

Chanting words designed to change the world

We got arrested and went to jail

But we got our point across

We never gave up until life changed

Until the President listened

The time has come again

Stand up and shout

Fill the streets

Take over campuses and parks

Get arrested if you have to

Just get your voice heard

Make the government listen

Make them make the changes

Just do not ever give up
