eternal

to dissidence in Egypt

I am standing on an arbitrary foot of Planet Earth
WATCHING THE WORLD FUCKING IMBLAZE
Wondering about the future
Wondering about the fame
WONDERING ABOUT THE NEEDLESS, CEASELESS NEW PAIN
Wondering how to impact my comrades-at-arms
Trying hard to picture the world free of these harms
And viewing these negatives we face every day
AND TRYING TO KEEP MY OWN CORRUPTION AT BAY
And failing to admit the evidence of the truth
That this war of systematic ideology and youth
WILL COLLIDE INTO A FUCKING PATHOLOGICAL BOOTH
And short-circuit the pen and the sword and the mind
And leave my one hope as our axe now to grind
That somebody will collect my inconsolable tears
And fashion them into weapons to destroy every fear
BEND AND BREAK FREE THE REVOLUTIONARY GEAR
And spare lives worth living from the sweep of their spear.
