Our World

Written by: Discurean Ranger, Ahmet Ter'sez
Date: Monday, September 19th, 2016
Addressed to: Everyone


Where we scream our secrets from the rooftops
Where the righteous few are the silent
Where those who speak loudest have the most to hide
Where questions are met with outrage

Where indignation is equated to truth
Where the spoken word reflects the golden coin
Where reality is twisted
Where standing up precedes falling to the ground

Where the silent majority are screaming inside
Where the roaring whispers are drowned out
Where we're told we care for nothing but our things
Where the truly evil hold the puppet-strings

This is the world we have settled for
This is the world we have built
This is the world our fathers fought for
This is the world for which we feel guilt

This is the world that turned love to hate
This is the world that gave in to the lies
This is the world that sells us our dreams
This is the world that is hell in disguise

This is the world we all have to stand up for
This is the world for which we must speak out
This is the world we must each work to change
This is the world which we can't live without

In this, our world, we all have one power
In this, our world, we all have our voice
In this, our world, now is our final hour
In this, our world, speak out and rejoice

It is the time for the truth to be heard
It is the time for us to speak our minds
It is the time for this world to be ours
It is the time that we remove our blinds

Speak out for what you truly believe in
Do not give in to the lies you are told
This is OUR world, is OUR time to shine
To hell with the twisted way of the old

The world has to change, we are killing our brothers
The world has to change, we are starving our mothers
The world has to change, but it has to start with us
The world has to change, for we say enough is enough

Disagreement is now hatred, speech becomes a threat
In the dark, twisted alleyway our children are lost
It's our money they gamble, our winnings they share
Yet we remain silent, and we are left with the cost

The time of the lies has come to an end
But only if we can stand for all people
In this time of hatred and demonisation
Let us rebuild, a world, free and equal

Penned by my hand on the 20th of Miraman, in the year 723 AF.
