Earth 3rd Rock from the sun!!

Something isn't right
got to put my finger on it
like a strange scent in the air
and all that haze in the sunlight
safety googles that resemble shades
untill the daytime fades
and I wonder...
will mankind get his just reward
making decisions for society
the air we breath now poisons
you and me....
there's something strange in the city
don't stare too long into the shadows
let loose now the reaper...
he's after you and me
mankind now beyond
the point of no return
somehow unable or unwilling
to learn
and we're just holding on
too late now
to even care
'bout who's who
what's up
or what clothes we wear
too soon we learn
life's regret
quickly we see evil
no angels appearing yet
everywhere a tormented face
spinning in circles
through what man creates
building fortresses
hiding inside
militant city
rights taken from me
graduallly.....
man controls man
with no right to judge me
sheddng tears I know are selfish
I am crying for the human race
enter in my number
for I have no face
gradual control process
now put into place
land of the free
they promised you and me
look around now
it seems things
have changed somehow
no longer have a right
to be free...
it's time now....
and all things
have come to be......

The stark realities of what you have penned cry out to the reader...the cries have been audible for years, but no one seems to listen. It is words like yours that will open eyes, and I admire this writing from you in many ways! Excellent!!

Live...Love...Be grateful for both!!

Oh gosh, I couldn't agree with the sad but true fact more. Everyone is being governed by some kind of superiority or inferiority, and now we feel as if we never have freedom. We are one nation in the hands of God, but yet, the Light is clouded by injustice. Oh JulieAnn, I pray that the future brings new love and hope into all, and freedom in speech and in heart. You have such a beautiful heart, dear friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Don't you just love your "unique" freedoms?  I think we have all felt that way at one time or another, and we have come away thanking God that we live in the USA and have the right to say exactly what we feel.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.
