Whatever happened to youthful idealism?
When was it replaced with cynical “realism”?
I yearn for the days of sit-ins and walk outs
The days when we could actually bring change about
Is it so wrong that what they try to sell me, I won’t buy?
That I don’t believe it when they play politics and lie?
I want some personal change, not the Obama kind
I want a revolution, an overwhelming movement of mind
A progression from the societal glorification of slaughter
That separates father from mother and precious daughter
To a righteous world in which peace begets peace
And this senseless violence and death might finally cease
