Time And Date To Celebrate



The time and date to celebrate possibilities...
Is right now!
The future is here to have made it clear,
That those determined to live in the past...
Are unconscious not to see,
What has gone to wish it back...
Has left us all.
Not to return.
Leaving them unaccepting,
Of truth, reality and the presence of facts.

This attempt to prevent what is.
Can be said to them is asinine.
But their minds are stuck and fixed.
As if,
A keeping their stirring around...
Long enough in quicksand.
Will eventually create,
Them to stand up tall and strong on cement.

Yet...
Continue they do to refuse to reinforce,
The very foundations...
Built in steel, cement and indestructable,
Faith and belief for centuries supported...
By the people.
And only the people.
Doing their best not to allow,
A future they know to have and now...
Crumbled by the very ones,
Too deluded; self righteous.
And minds to fiction themselves to believe,
They were born to lead.
Rule, control indefinitely.
To disbelief,
What they do to others done purposely.
Will leave them left free,
From paying the consequences...
Of their thoughtless and mindless actions.

Although this to say,
Will go in one ear and out the other.
Like it has always been,
For those who rather hear what the want.
With ears that lie.
Done to later make excuses.
Using alibis to deny.
They cheered to applaud,
A destruction of themselves.
But tried to avoid their participation of it!

'And...ummm...
You claim to have only been,
A visiting tourist?
Like the others who,
Got caught up in the havoc.
Not to know,
You were up to your knees in quicksand?
Believing,
If you stay to stir it up enough...
Will ultimately turn into cement.
With a strengthening a valued foundation.'

'I swear I didn't know.
What I did would be that noticeable.'

'Well...
Time and date to celebrate,
Your loss of memory.
Could perhaps restore,
What it was to remember...
Why you are here and what it was you did.'

'Meaning?'

'Only you and no one else,
Could have prevented your tour and visit.
Whose next?
Also needing their memory restored!'

'But...
I am a native born citizen.'

'And...
Also a God fearing patriot too,
Right?'

'Uh...'

'Look around.
You may have forgotten.
But believe this or not.
Others in this court you see,
Are not willing to allow you...
To destroy their conscious to keep,
Kept beliefs.
Knowing their entitlements to receive,
Come to them free.
Although not yet equally.
But that in the future,
Can and could be a possibility.
Next!'

'Your Honor?'

'Don't tell me.
You too have loss of memory?'

'Yes!'

'Much time you too will get,
To celebrate your empty victory!'
