The time is now
It seems want and greed
Have taken over from need
Now everybody just takes
We seem to be surrounded by snakes
What happened to self respect
The need to guide and protect
We are living among savage beasts
Our weak and elderly are their feasts
Stand up now and be counted
Before you are surrounded
Fight for our women and our weak
Now is not the time to be meek
Its time to step into the fire
We can no longer wait to see what will transpire
Legends will be forged
When on vengeance we are engorged
The time has come for blood
It will flow through the streets like a flood
It is time to rise
We will no longer allow them to terrorize
Like those who went before
Our heritage we will restore
Regardless of the price
This evil we must excise
Heros
They were just eighteen
Innocent, wholesome and clean
Then their people called
They were whipped into shape and overhauled
Marched into battle
Like so many cattle
With our brothers we would learn to kill
Fear into the hearts of our enemy we would instill
In combat fearsome and wild
Yet deep inside still a child
Before us none would stand
We were willing and did die for this land
They may have taken our childhood
But they gave us this brotherhood
Everyday I see it in their eyes
We all have the ability to recognize
We share a common past
Our bonds are forged and not cast
When the rest have fled
These are the men the enemy will dread
You may think he is just a zero
But this is the child soldier turned hero
He may now be a little grey
But your enemies he will surely slay
When he stands beside his brother
Rage and courage you will discover
They know not how to run or lose
With bravery they do each other infuse
They are the kind of men who know only victory
And will gladly die for liberty
A different prescription
Wether you need equilibrium
With some lithium
Or total bliss
With some cannabis
Always do what is required
For you to remain inspired
Only you know what you need
Be it magic mushrooms or honey mead
Only you can hear the music
That is for you so therapeutic
So pay no heed
To those who want to impede
This is your only chance
Your life dance
So swing and run and jump
While sucking on your asthma pump
Never doubt that you are perfect
While your insulin you inject
Everybody needs an additive
To navigate life's narrative
Wether its health food or exercise
We all use something to maximize
Yours is just a prescription
Of a different description
What happened
Where did we go wrong
When did we start to follow the throng
Stop thinking for our self
In the hands of others put our health
Eat mass produced junk
That can only be described as gunk
When the world has so much to offer
Without throwing money in some greedy bastards coffer
Every vitamin and protein we will ever need
The earth will provide and feed
If we treat her with respect
Our needs she will never neglect
We need to turn our backs on modern progress
Start to focus on more sustainable concepts
Time to give back to mother earth
Time for us to experience a true rebirth
Time to get back to our roots
Leave behind all that pollutes
We need to stop abusing every stream
Make the world once again beautiful and green
Never alone
The highest mountain I
