See Change in New Paradigms

I see change.

SEE CHANGE

As I see to look,
From the vantage of my safe haven,
The war on reason,
Is seasoning a flavour,
A waver of rights,
A new clause,
For this is the jungle of tooth and claw,
Survival of the fittest,
Drives this game,
But there is no hole in one,
Just one hole.

As we cast our eyes back over history,
We see battlefields as a sea of misery,
Fighting for freedom,
Yet we were never free,
Empires rise and fall,
Inspiration and expiration,
What for?
Why can’t we simply rise?
To the occasion,
Why do we divide ourselves?
By nation,
Why can’t we see ourselves?
In each other,
Why must we demonise to find an enemy?
To justify suffering.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction,
For this is a universal law,
That needs no covenant,
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind,
For the visionaries,
Are blinded by the eclipse,
For what goes around comes around,
In the final analysis,
There is no escape from natural justice,
In this life or the next.

It is time to move from the old paradigm,
Fear is the weapon of control,
But there is no control when there is no fear,
For fear is false evidence appearing real.

And what is real is love,
It is not a fairytale,
Nor an ancient myth,
It is a force more powerful,
It is the mustard seed,
That moves mountains,
It is the miracle of mercy awaiting you at Lourdes,
It is an unshakeable belief in nonviolence,
It is the courage to say no,
But it does not fight fire with fire,
It inspires a desire,
That you are responsible,
You are able to respond,
You can do something,
But be sure it is from the heart that you speak,
Not from hate,
For seeking truth and justice requires patience,
People power requires true democracy,
True democracy is not enacted in legislation,
Mediocrity languishes in powerlessness.

So make a decision,
Decide what you want to be,
For you must be the change you wish to see,
If you truly wish
to be free.
