The Message

Two horses, one black and one white, ran free from all masters except for the light.
A message from God is one that they carry follow the book and you won't grow wary.
Tales of people like you and like me, followed the light and then they were free.
A map drawn for all to follow, leads us away from the dark, pitted hallow.

Time has come for all to stand, with heads held high, out of the sand.
Help your neighbors down the street, clothes for their back and food to eat.
Houses for all to sleep every night, leaving them homeless is just not right.
Human kind will never last as long as we ignorantly repeat the past.

A caste system is what holds us all down, ensuring the rich run the town.
Monopolies on water, energy and air, hidden fees and high prices are really not fair.
Cars and clothes, the things we need, prices are raised inflated by greed.
Charging your brother for information you know, leaves them stagnate unable to grow.

Powerful and mighty to us you have shown, how does it feel being there all alone?
A greedy little trek to the top you have made, I have seen a near future where all that will fade.
How you treat the people below, ensures your fortune will grow.
What if they did not participate in your selfish game, forgo ed your fruit and your shame?

Blood being shed, lived being lost will be your curse to bear no matter the cost.
This is not the way God intended us to be, we are the people the land of the free.
Open your hearts, flood them with love, give us nudge not a push or a shove.
Educate all to stand up with pride, stand with your neighbor side by side.

You say natural selection weeds out the weak, but the earth will be left to the powerless and meek.
The ladder you climb is so big and tall, be careful tho lest you fall.
Fall to the bottom, left to find a new way, the nicer you were the brighter your day.
