The Music Has Stopped

“When the music’s over
Turn out the lights”

– “The Doors”

.

Everyone is moving

To the beat

Of their own drum

We can not

Hear or feel

Our collective

Heart

Beat

It is drowned out by

Power and corruption

Greed and distraction

Death and destruction

Media and manipulation

Still we have

The tools to

Change the above

Using our

Minds and connection

Sharing and distribution

Life and construction

Spirit and communication

It is not up to the “them’s”

It is up to the “us’s”

.
“And if the music stops
There’s only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory
All the sacrifice in vain

(And) If love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost”

.
“Bravado”

.
