Don't Conform

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Could greed jealousy and racism  
be banished forever

Or would they still raise their spiteful endeavors

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Would all divine emotions saturate everyone's skin 
regardless of kin

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Would all the damn wars stop 
and their drumbeats stop beating

Would government officials agree 
and stop competing 

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Would the less able and infirm 
The homeless and the old

Be simply looked after like treasured gold

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Would it help us
Everyone and even just you

Would its eyes truly open
and dissolve this current covid gloom

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Would it seek to eradicate this current vibration
A global corrupt corporate manifestation

Where the price of salvation is spent on wars 
And vaccine talk by so many inept administrations

Where food and agriculture 
is no longer a commodity 
of united nations

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Would it turn a blind eye 
to starvation and drought.

Or would it solve its issues with compassionate hindsight

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke

Would we all live in peace
A place where no more palms where greased

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke and applied introspection

Would it like to embrace its global reflection

Where people starve and die of thirst

The rich get richer through
Total disparity on earth

Where wars and corruption 
A theme from Days of Old

Still drive Greeds search 
for more black gold

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Would it open its eyes 
and help me and you

Beyond the one percent 
but way down to those in tents

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke from its unrequited deep manipulated dream
Would love and compassion truly reign supreme

So many have dreamed of this magnificent dream

From philosophers, writers, freedom fighters and even beloved poets

Maybe this century 
Humanity wouldn't blow it

Is this but a blind man's dream

A man's who's not seen the true colors of a controlled 
 Narrative and carefully pushed memes for a new world kingdom

But who still dreams of freedom

Now press play!
Salute.
