The War On Conciousness

  
     
There will be guns    
but not in our hands    
there will be death    
but not on our streets    
and the suffering restricted    
to our TV screens    
Our war will be fought    
in our minds    
for our minds    
for our God given free will    
for our very souls    
Never in any war in history    
have the stakes been so high    
   
Will you surrender your freedom    
in the name of peace?    
Will you sacrifice your eternal soul    
for this one and only life?    
These are our choices    
This will be our fight    
Do we succumb to the darkness?    
or do we keep the light?    
   
Is this life your living    
worth its cost?    
are all these technological advancements    
worth the things this world has lost?    
We are given everything we’re told we want    
yet the thigs we need, slowly slip away    
and while everyone is shouting    
no one’s voice is heard    
   
Do we carry on regardless?    
accept, this is just the way it is?    
the way it’s always going to be?    
that you alone    
you do not matter    
that you alone    
no difference can you make    
This is their desire    
their agenda    
nothing less than mind control    
if we accept their rules and reasons    
the laws we know are just not right    
if we become    
the apathetic, melancholy grey    
then they have won    
and we have lost, without a fight    
   
A well placed word can save a life    
a single life can change the world    
every beat of every heart    
is a reminder    
we are still alive    
so if your life to you is sacred    
with every breath, you must truly live    
Live the way that makes you happy    
Live the way that makes you free    
Don’t conform to someone else’s ideals    
or the confines of someone else’s plan    
Remember, there is always a choice    
there is always another way    
don’t let fear and greed become you    
don’t let fear and greed dictate    
   
This war is for your consciousness    
This war is for your mind    
your free will    
your humanity    
for your very soul    
Only you, rule you    
Only you, are the captain of your mind    
The enemy has no real power    
The enemy has no physical form    
Its weapons are lies and misconceptions    
Its weapons are    
Fear, Doubt and Greed    
YOU can make a difference    
YOU can change the world    
Open your eyes    
watch them fall onto their knees    
Open your eyes    
see the wood beyond the trees    
   
Free your mind    
Free your mind    
FREE YOUR MIND
