Wake up

We thought it was buried, hidden in the books, 
Yet the lost souls rise again, haunting us. 
We swore we’d never lose another friend, 
Now we dream of their forgotten remains. 

It all starts with a whisper, 
A step unheard, dismissed as nothing. 
Until it crushes all our rights, 
The ones we placed in hands of power. 
A power we built with our labor, 
Yet they dig our graves in return. 

I call upon you, 
Oh, I call upon you, those who are ready. 
Not to fight, but to awaken, 
To show the blindfolded minds 
That the world is far more beautiful 
Without the veil upon their eyes. 
Humanity is flawed, and that is what makes us real. 
In truth, we know nothing, 
Yet they choose to believe otherwise. 

We swallow pain to reach the summit, 
But are we truly letting 
The bodies of our children 
Become stepping stones for those 
Who steal away our rights? 
What have we truly learned? 
Every truth they claim to teach 
Is painted in deception, 
A lie sold as revelation. 

I call upon you, 
Oh, I call upon you, those who are ready. 
Not to fight, but to awaken, 
To show the blindfolded minds 
That the world is far more beautiful 
Without the veil upon their eyes. 
Humanity is flawed, and that is what makes us real. 

 
A gunshot echoes, 
Yet a hand reaches out. 
Forget the blood, the land, the wars, 
Remember who our mother is
Earth, the one who bore us all. 
She should not be fed 
With our lifeless, broken veins. 
Let her show us that the future is open, 
Open for those who dare to see. 

 
Keep your ideologies locked away, 
I will no longer be bound 
By those chains.
I let go, I open the door, 
For the children yet to come. 
For even you bury them too soon, 
Look into your child’s eyes 
And remember that fear. 

 
I call upon you, 
Oh, I call upon you, those who are ready. 
Not to fight, but to awaken, 
To show the blindfolded minds 
That the world is far more beautiful 
Without the veil upon their eyes. 
Humanity is flawed, and that is what makes us real. 

And though we know nothing, life goes on. 
Let’s not stop it in its path. 
Are we truly blind to the greater storms ahead? 
Do not fear, Mother Earth, 
Peace will come… when we are gone. 
We are destroying ourselves already…
