This poem is dedicated to all men and women, who, in tha
face of adversity, ignorance, and oppression, fight for symbiotic
open-ness of understanding – and through their struggles, allow
for monumental discovery, achievement, and progress;
The names mentioned in this poem represent merely a few
of tha men and women who prove that in the worst of conditions
and in tha darkest of ages, tha spirit of righteousness lives on;
—-
Nothing easy teaches
Though those hard times hardly ease us
Respect to tha courageous people
Who fight and die for their achievements…
Y’all may think I’m just a dreamer
I’d agree… I do believe in
Tha power of dream-filled people,
And civil disobedience
Because
Nothing easy teaches
And hard times hardly ease us -
Lend your two cents to those who count on it
And save your sense of freedom
If you’re calling me a dreamer
I’ll say “thanks, I do believe in
Tha instinct of the blind; our third-eye
Awakens when we’re sleeping”
Still,
Not all mysteries have answers
If they did, there could be no future learning
Everything becomes history
And we all keep on turning
history’s pages, repeatedly -
and though people may prevail;
we are blissfully concrete;
stubborn, gray, and stale
Nothing easy teaches
Though hard times hardly ease us
But if we keep compassion close
Evil cannot defeat us
You may think that I’m a dreamer -
I believe in just believing
That these mysteries unknown
Are best if we just leave ‘em
Nothing easy teaches
Though hard times hardly ease us
Yet I still can’t help but wonder how
“Civilized” adults could be so greedy
To take another life
With tha hands that aptly feed them
I understand balance; but I cannot
Stand for vengeful beings
Nothing easy teaches
You see, violence can’t appease us
Two wrongs don’t make a right
I thought that one was rather easy
You may think that I’m a dreamer
I’m just a peaceful poet preacher
So perhaps you’ll pray for me
And for tha progressive disobedient
