Warning: Wake Up!

What do you do when no one listens

and all the doors are slammed in your face?

It’s such a disgrace to have forgotten our history

what a sin it is to be forsaken

When your voice is lost

and all you’re left with are your thoughts

feelings of loneliness start to creep inside

the wounds cut deep

Wish I could have done more for him

but how is one so young

supposed to handle something

so tragically wrong?

Now we’re at world war three

as I predicted back in ‘93 it would be

But in their own selfish demise

they turn a blind’s eye

just as they’ve done so many times

Don’t you see we are at war

with ourselves when we fight

against someone else?

Open your eyes to all the lies

being told and the scams being sold

Insurance, there’s no such thing

and the illegal taxation

of our nation has caused

so much devastation

Come out of denial so we can smile

When are people going to listen

and head the warnings?

A change is coming

and soon we will know

the answers to all the why’s

and soon the blind will see

then everyone will be sorry

they ever doubted me

Please, stop killing me!
