I am no longer content

Gunshots fired
Feeling so uninspired
I can't bear to watch the news
Just giving me the blues
Can't even have a normal conversation
Without the hate that's infecting the the nations
Time to be a voice to the voiceless
Even though sometimes I'm speechless

I am no longer content
Staying silent
I am no longer content to be standing by
No more black and white
This life is far too colorful

I am no longer content to be a stander-by
I want to dive into the line of fire
I want to be a voice to the voiceless
I want to shout from the mountain tops
Why aren't more willing to do this?

So let's go back and be...
Dreamers
Forerunners
Movers and Shakers
Fire starters
And star-gazers
Let's be the electric shock in a world gone dead
A song in the static voices of confusion
Or a million angels standing in the middle of war grounds

I am no longer content
To listen as my sister gags herself over the toilet
I am no longer content
To sit and watch the millions of this country slaughter each other
And on the same streets we roll our baby carriages
I am no longer content
Feeding into their inclinations
I am no longer content
Exalting gurus and zealots

And I know I am not singular in my sayings
So let's go back and be....
