" Where Do I Stand ? "

Three minutes to election
Seven hours until wake up
The world collapsing (in front of us)
My word already crumbled
New hopes, different beginnings
Encouraging, devastating…
I’m a soldier
Trying to escape from fate
Alone, sitting in Hollywood
Heart across the universe
A little cry, creating
Loving and hating
Life taking its course
But where do I stand?
I’m no voter
A no-singer singing
No-writer writing
No lottery winner
Not like you
Living day by day
Missing home
Just a puppet
Power potential neglected
Politicians holding the strings
(Yours too)
They are laughing at our faces
While people are dying
Being exploited,
Explosions,
Hurting and screaming inside
But where do I stand?
Everything is flawed
Everyone is rotten
Feeling the misery of humanity
I paralyze
A bug on the ground
Running from side to side
Making mistakes
The same mistakes again
My brush is my gun
Paint is water
The air getting thicker
But I shall not fall
Giving up is human
I thought I was made of iron
But I feel this in my bones
Eyes-sand-paper
Thoughts getting heavy
Mind very open
And I’ll never be broken…
But where do I stand?
