The promised changes have arrived
Financial markets in turmoil
New and frightening weather phenomena
Abnormal neurological responses.

Mental overload, emotional impatience
Physical symptoms, abnormal stresses
These are changing Humanity's evolution
And already have.

Where is the peace and prosperity?
Where is the balance and stability?
Where is the hope for our children
When we see our dreams crashing?

How can we know whom to trust?
Where can we save for our future?
How can we know who to turn too
When all around us is crumbling?

Religions destroyed by indiscretions
Cover-ups and worse
Failing to grasp that reality
Is not limited by its' perspective.

Autocracies crashing
As communication has no boundaries
Neither do people have boundaries
When their needs are unmet.

Self-expression and reliance
Have their limitations
One cannot use self-expression
To limit another's opportunities.

Inflicting purposeful pain--
A feature growing in expression
Devaluing Human life
Till nothing caring remains.

The spiral downward will continue
Unless each person takes control
Seizes the opportunity for freedom
Until freedom to oppress is no more.

Take this little saying with you
Guard it with all of your life
Freedom can only be maintained
By those willing to die for it.

For Freedom we strive.
     For freedom we live.
          For freedom we die
               Till freedom is for all.
