| Awe Recall the deepness, far into the star lit sky, Admire afar, the immense mountains Bask in the warmth, the sun always above Feel your own great inner potential The vastness of the night The mass of the mountain The warmth of the sun All pale compared to man. Always, man has been told no Constantly reminded how small he is Demonstrated to the weakness of his being All lies, done to keep you trapped You’ve forgotten your own glory You’ve agreed to be a slave You’ve dug your own grave Only one life to live, you listened By listening, believing and agreeing Finally reduced to almost nothing All done by your own hand mighty hand Listen no more to the doom sayers Believe not the slave masters that make less of you Take advice not from witch doctors Ignore the urges to “feel better fast” from a shrink Freedom does not lie in the lies they push Be your own counsel in your life Make your own decisions to create your future Look for truth that you can see works for you Break free from the shadow of the slaver’s yoke Look deep into the endless past, greatness was there Know the future is endless, know vast potential is yours Create a future of freedom, feel the awe of your own potential Feel it! Believe it. It is real, it is you Those moments that you’ve felt great Those moments, that is the true you! Be yourself, be that greatness that’s you You can do this, all men can. Enslavers have you trapped Ignorant, drugged, unaware of who you are Unconscious of your immense potential Should you but glimpse your true power You’d be free, no longer a slave Controlled, taxed, drugged, hypnotized Convinced by all literature and art, No chance of freedom for you. Working hours and hours to just keep up A slave to the society that you keep running Look for that potential, the greatness in you You know it’s there; but you’ve been convinced it’s not It’s been denied and made less of for eons. The very universe beats you down or so you feel Just step out and see it for what it is A game gone bad, a great sadness for man Again, recall those moments of greatness Focus on these, become powerful once more Become free, help others to know Cast aside the yoke, be a slave no more Help create freedom for man, be free yourself Complain not, criticize not, be free Focusing on the problems keep you trapped Focus on greatness and be great Focus on freedom and be free The Poet ©2009 Carl Watts www.carlwattsartist.com Feedback? |
