What Side of the Revolution Will You Be On?
When the fighting starts
will your principles uphold?
Do you even have any?
What about your passions?
Ethics?
A moral compass that you follow
along the roads of right and wrong?
Will your fear take hold
and paralyze you?
Or will your fear empower you?
What is your fear, anyway?
What would be your
Hell on Earth?
Your paradise?
Will your hatred be set free
upon your perceived enemies?
Who are your enemies, anyway?
Or will your hatred be replaced with
love and understanding?
For you are both in the same battle,
undergoing the same traumas,
fighting for your beliefs.
Are they truly your beliefs?
Or are they the beliefs that
have been imposed upon you,
emblazoned into your psyche,
etched in your soul
by external forces?
What are your true beliefs?
Do you even know?
What is it that keeps you
awake at night
when all the world is still?
When the battle begins,
will you allow
the anarchists
with their violent ways
to take control?
The very control they
are fighting against.
Will you allow
the artists
and their free-spirited,
naive notions of
love and peace and acceptance
to take control?
As if they would even
want to control anything.
Will you allow
the rule makers
with their self-aggrandizing,
egotistical ways
to take control?
Haven't they had
control long enough?
Will you at least
attempt to understand
why the other side fights?
Or will you be so blinded
by your own obsessions
that you only see them
as the enemy and nothing more?
Will you speak
the truth
no matter how
well or ill received it may be?
Or will you speak lies,
spread fear and hate
to win favor and power
over those around you?
What are the choices you will make?
