rak03252: thought i would add this , a couple weeks old.....called LIVING PROOF


LIVING PROOF©
by rak



he was searching for the soul

of the nation

he was bound by duty

and determination

he had to undo

all the wrongs’ been done

we gotta fix everything

before the setting sun



a brave man,

rises to occasion

while the coward

crawls away

without persuasion

and we know

by instinct

the right thing to do

so we do it together,

everyone,

me and you



we can find the answers

as we seek the truth

we’re the freedom dancers

we’re the living proof



a liar,

with his tongue on fire

spouting hatred and division

it’s never too late

for healing the incision

gotta dismiss

all the pettiness

don’t forget

we all share the earth



meaningless grievances

self-righteous indignation

what can you take

that has any worth



misunderstandings

people demanding

marching and chanting

raving and ranting



we can find the answers

as we seek the truth

we’re the freedom dancers

we’re the living proof



the way of the world

the way things unfurl

the ruckus and chaos

the swerves, curves and curls

who’ll be next in charge

who’ll be next in line

one selfless being

so hard to find



so many beliefs

so many tears,

so much grief

we can catch the disease

but we can’t catch the thief

counting seconds in time

can’t prevent the crime

as we watch in shock

and grovel in grime



but tomorrow

has always

a new ray of light

we can stand up for all

and let it shine bright



we can find the answers

as we seek the truth

we’re the freedom dancers

we’re the living proof

Bri_anna: Arizona... you gotta give it a go right? Unless you want to end up in the country where I live? Ask Rak where I live. This is suppose to be the rainbow nation when our dearly beloved Mandela was still alive. Look where we are now? Almost every tribe/race/colour hate each other. Many people try to flee here, as I am trying to do hopefully next year.

rak03252: there is an interesting Aussie series called CLEVERMAN, about the division of the regular people and the HAIRIES..and the hatred, simply because they were different...but the Cleverman possessed mystical powers...maybe we need magic to correct all the human flaws....
