Reality: Check Yourself Poem by The Dreamers Movement

Reality is
Ugly
Like the evil inside

But reality is
What keeps us real

Ironic isn't it
We try to escape
Reality
But reality comes and finds
Us in the places that
We think are safe
From these truths

Inconvenience takes
Our freedom
Or does it?
Or
Are we inconvenient
In and of ourselves?

In our culture we
Kill because we want
Everything to be convenient
Why must someone
Loose their life for
Our stupid gain

Look around at the
State of this earth
There is nothing left
To share because we all
Want it for ourselves

We rip it from the hands
Of those dying
Those struggling to
Keep a grip on reality
Those who have no choice
Those without a voice

They say freedom isn't free

Well I guess I can
Agree with that
Because

We take each others freedom
And do with it what ever we want

I pray that this will end soon
Because dying from someone
Else's choice is not
A good reason at all

But the one thing
I have to look forward to
Is spending eternity
With the one Man
Who made the right choice
And saved my life
As undeserving as I am
So that stupid little
You and me wouldn't
Have to die from
Someone else's choice
