The Arrow.

The arrow points at you, and you have to make a decision.
The arrow often forces you to do things you don't want to do.
But if you disobey the arrow, you die.

The arrow is everywhere.
It can be found in the homes of t wealthiest people.
But the arrow can be obtained by the most scared orphan.

The arrow is often controlled by monarchies
and contributes to their power.
When the pain is too great, you can turn
The arrow onto yourself
And end the suffering.

I am not an arrow, but I can point
You in the wrong direction.
Or end you life.

When the arrow is pointed at you
You have to make a decision
The arrow often forces you to do things you
            don't want to

But if you disobey the arrow you will die.

Freedom

All of the people,
Who walk on the street,
With only the freedom,
To walk with two feet.

Imprisoned, enslaved,
But some don't know,
When seeing new people,
Friend or foe?

Controlled by the master,
But some who do preach,
Not thinking or moving,
Being squeezed like a leech.

The new born baby lamb,
Blue as the sky,
Black as the night,
In the morning will fly.

What is freedom?
It's not what we have,
There's one more thing we need,
That one thing is love.

Whilst i lay here,
Resting my head,
Staring into blackness,
On my deathbed.

Government

Why does the government
act like kids
and want what is not theirs?

people dying because they are small
people dying because they are insignificant
people dying because they have no choice
People dying for what?

Soldiers trying to help but getting killed
Soldiers trying to help and killing innocents
Soldiers trying to help and causing more pain.

Politicians, what's the point?
They are meant to help debt,
they say they're for the public,
But they use the public's money
On themselves...

Where's the help?
