The World is Waiting for You

You hold the key to revolution

We all know – time is nothing but an illusion

Still – without it – so are the calculated lives we lead

There is no compromise only injurious confusion

∞∞∞∞∞∞

The fusion meant to ensure a continued submission

And strangers stare straight while neighbors bleed

It is with a plea that my words look to the world for action

∞∞∞∞∞∞

Be not fooled by empty promises selling false attraction

Be, rather, bold and defiant searching for the cracks to feed

Nurturing the inconsistencies hidden to promote satisfaction

∞∞∞∞∞∞

The world is waiting for youyou hold the key to the revolution

Without question – it is always the first follower who truly leads

So don't delay because today is your chance to say 'enough subjugation!'

∞∞∞∞∞∞

Embrace the revelation that you are more than a productivity injection

It is your duty to wake up, recognize the strings, and demand to be freed

The time is now to believe in yourself & find pride in your own reflection

∞∞∞∞∞∞

∞∞∞∞∞∞

And with all that said, I feel compelled to offer a real-life confession

My own reflection stares at me begging to believe I'm anything but worried

I'm not, but if life imitates art; art is an interpretation of accepted fiction

You can craft a simulation that overturns our own self-imposed conviction
