Kings and Queens

At dawn I hear the sound of life echo
seeping through the screens screaming
“let's go”
and I feel the heat leave my skin
as I kick off the sheets wondering,
“What good is here to find?
What good am I in this game of life?”

No, I'm nothing at all
just the pawn on the board
the underdog
the underscore
kicked under the floor
like an insect squashed under a boot
the boot of authority

well I say it's time
to reboot this life
and resurrect the times
when I wasn't a fluke
but a queen with my own rule
my own scepter, my own crown
my own throne and my own clowns

to rebuild the kingdom within my soul
and to take back what is mine
the people and the media
the government and the hysteria
of trying to be something we're not
and trying to put on the dunce's crown
no we were not meant to be
the resting seat of the feet
of those who falsely claim
to be above us

no, we are meant to be
the governors of our own minds
the kings and queens of our own souls
the knights of each others hearts
not just bones stuck in the moldings of flesh
but the best of creations put onto this earth
by a higher source

we are all hungry
we are all poor
feasting upon dreams
set high on glass plates
that shatter when they hit the  floor

there is no social class
just a bunch of human beings
that don't see the fact
that we are all truly equal
and that when stripped of all our vanity
we are the poor, the weakened, and the crippled

and I don't want to live my life
caught in a vicious cycle
of twisted truths and half lies
I don't want to be surrounded by people
who claim to be my leaders
yet don't know a single thing
about guidance and how to turn
their haters into believers

this is our time
this is our fight, our right
to speak out against political corruptness
to question the morality of irrational
mass mentality mindsets
bent on the destruction of man
and the stripping down of individuality

this is reality
walking on the streets to see the homeless
who have IQ's higher than that of a politician's income
but were told they were worthless by the masses
who know nothing
but how to strip away one's dignity and freedom

remember this day
as you listen to my words
and feel these proclamations
reverberate through your mind
remember
we are meant to be
the governors of our own minds
the kings and queens of our own souls
the knights of each others hearts
not just bones stuck in the moldings of flesh
but the best of creations put onto this earth
by a higher source
remember
remember
