i want to tear all the walls down
and shake the foundations of everything.
does that make me dangerous?

piss in the stagnant pools of 'establishment'
and you're only clearing things up.
sure, it floats, but it doesn't sail free, like the wind.

there's always another way, another day,
another dream - can you scream...
and mean it?

look past your illusions of safe and see what's real.
people die every day for no good reason.
who would want to be a statistic?

do the bars on your ivory tower keep them out,
or do they keep you in?
is your world no bigger than the space between the walls you call your own?

dare to care.
it's a different sort of feeling,
and it's free.

see? absolutely nuts...tom
this is a song by Alphaville:

'i. a. o. (international aquarian opera)'
...night...
you can
halt your car
for an afternoon in utopia
we shall stop the wars
on those afternoons in utopia...
a song isn't old if you've never heard it before.

I really enjoyed reading this piece, and loved the free flow of thought...it made me think and brought new ideas into being!! This deserves to be read by all free thinking people, and there are more here than just me, I'm sure.....so back up it goes, and to the beginning!!!

The road goes on forever, and the stories never end...

Yes it does make you dangerous...to those who are content with the status quo...most people fear change...but change is inevitable...dare to care...dare to touch reality...dare to dream...I dare ya

You ask what has been striven for, since history began- tear the willing blinders from human beings. How I wish, and have in my own tiny way tried, yet matters my efforts of a life, who knows, who knows...
