Kill The System

Break down the borders

They have constructed.

Rip it apart.

End to end.

 

With just cause get armed,

Compose a manifesto,

Declare war on jp morgan.

 

Free your soul,

Become beautiful again.

Treat enemies with dignity,

You are not the new dictator.

 

But above all else, at least

Have a reason to riot.

The people have to agree

In a true revolution.

 

We must kill the system

With love.

Good one, Kealan, thoughtful and strong, and using structured poetic form.

'Treat enemies with dignity'

'Have a reason to riot
The people have to agree'

I like it too. :)

No, it is not impossible.
You can be passionate about something and take great pleasure
in putting an end to it...

With love.'

Nice one Kealon, very philosophical view of the current unrest and a valid argument for all to move forward best way possible, very few have had good reason to be even involved in the latest debacle, Jeff
