Rise to Free Will

Rise to Free Will
By Alexander Stortz
Walk the route to the world
Watch the road start to wirl
Se the edge of the earth
Memories litter the hearth
The end is only a failure
When lessons are lost on the shore
Cry out with me
Cry out the cries of the world.

See the faces of the polls
See the faces of the poor
Waking from the mindless sleep
Into the truth we seep
The height of the life
With no futures so bright
The storms come to fight
The fight for no right
Awaken the giant
Become the defiant
Tell the truths of what’s left
Of humanity the gift.

Maps of the land
No longer take the stand
Against the wrong
The right
The silent
The blind
The fall
The rise
The corruption
We despise.

See your faults
Bring the solution
Freedom for all
End the pollution
Cry the tears
Of the darkness we fear
Hear the failures
See the victors
None the righteous
All the blind.

None can change you
You are the master
Seek what is true
Hear the jester
Let us change who we are
Let the date set the mark
Of when we rise as free men
Before the darkness of the end.

Is this love
Is this right
Is this the troth
For the artificial life
No one asks
No one speaks
In comfort we bask
But in failure we seek
We must embrace our faults
Bring our lives to a halt
For one more of peace
For the truth it speaks.

No more tears
No more cries
Face our fears
Disrupt the lies
Billions in the world
Every boy and girl
Should look to what we think
Before those ships start to sink.

See life in literal
See it philosophical
See how it’s perfect
See all its defects
None is perfect
But we all live perfectly
So here I intersect
Now break away from the need.
