THE POETY OF MARK ELSIS
PART II
It's Not Too LateThe earth has cancer We can't let grow And I've got the answer But don't we all know We need to get together To live as one Share the earth forever With the energy of the sun And it's not too late But we must start now If not our fate You will allow So please understand We have to stop the hate And live in a land Loving your fellow mate Where pollution is no more And hunger does not exist Cause population had a law Enabling all of this And it's not too late But we must start now If not our fate You will allow So wake up to all the wrong And see the light Don't let the manipulating strong Take away what's right Cause their foresight is blind In living for today Their contracts were signed With no need for delay
You And Yours Are Fine
We're living in confused times We're on that fine line We're hanging by a thread Always increasing crime But you and yours are fine Still struggling to stay ahead The competitions rough But your hard nosed and tough Yet you sink like lead You don't know what to do They've gotten the best of you Believing the lies you've read
Terminal Trend
The plot is thickening The stage is set A rude awakening Is a safe bet Cause the time has come When chaos must end And realize that some Are selling a terminal trend Who don't give a sh t Or a care for tomorrow As long they hit Home with no sorrow
Just Infants Being Bold
Just 100 years ago We were still on horses Little did we know The industrial age losses Would wipe us out Cause we could not control No technological doubt Just infants being bold
Despair And Strange
Dreams that I have In hope of change Reality that I know Is despair and strange Eats at my inside With time running out No place to hide I no longer doubt
Without Detection
Our words are drowned By lies and deception Our dreams are grounded Without detection Censored news No right to choose Programmed well With their hard sell
The Truth Bought And Sold
How much are they hiding How much don't you know Don't take for granted their abiding Cover ups seldom show Cause money changes views The truth bought and sold So me and you always lose Just accepting what's being told Well I've heard enough lies Political promises never materialize Filthy greed cleverly tries Power struggles to want more size
Can't Get By
Like a rollercoaster In the first car It feels the best So where do you go From there When you see the end Before the rest
Given A Paradise
Given a paradise That's ours to run So whatever happens It's what we've done
Rests Forever
We have all we need In order to evolve But if we're going to succeed Dire problems we must solve So face this reality Our choice is here and now The key to our mortality Rests forever with our decision how
Our Backs Are To The Wall
You think it's lies But it's the truth There's no disguise Were living proof So realize now How bad its got And understand how There's still a shot To save the earth From the modern way That strips its worth Only concerned with today The change must come From you and me Stop living on the run And then you'll see The pace we've kept Would kill us all And already we've slept Our backs are to the wall
We're Out Of Touch
We take for granted All too much Our news is slanted We're out of touch Bred to compete For the almighty dollar A sucker to beat They're born every hour
Ignorant Innocence
Pollute the water Pollute the air Shoot the mortar Cause it's there Radiation leaking You don't know Nerve gas seeping Let it flow A million a minute But you want more To make killing arms To die in a war Ignorant innocence Blind ambition You've lost your way Final submission Rape the earth Suck the blood Take the worth Lick the mud If it ain't nailed down They'll take it They found the hammer And did
To One Of Love
Optimism we need Instead of the greed Hope is the seed If we want to lead This world of chaos To one of love
Emptiness Anxiety Runs
We hold the key Within ourselves To open and see The path that tells Which road to walk To find our peace Unplug the cork Let conformed realities cease Scared of the unknown Or never thought to try Material possession grown Leaves you wondering why Contentment rarely comes Or worries never go Emptiness anxiety runs Until its let go
Why Are We Here
Why are we here What is it all about Each day there's a new fear Always living in doubt Cause tomorrow may not come And today may be the end Through the selfishness of some Who will break before they bend And day after day We let it go by Living it their way Too lazy to try While deep down you know It's going from bad to worse As the mounting problems grow Like a balloon ready to burst So don't hide what you feel Cause this is the last call And I'm telling you for real Together we can avoid the fall And make a new world The way it should be One government for all United and free To carry on forever In tune with nature Knowing that together We can make it real
Listen To Reason
How long are you going to take it How can you just sit back How long are you going to fake it Before you get on the right track We're living real high We're stripping the land I don't know why We let it get out of hand So take a realistic view You'll see it can't go on We need an optimistic new Or certain death from the great con Survival is the basic instinct Yet we're burning out so fast Suicide will make us extinct The raping of nature won't last So how long are you going to be fooled By the great con being played How long are you going to be ruled Blinded by the money you're being paid Listen to reason I beg of you The final treason Is up to you Listen to reason I beg of you The final treason Is up to you
The Dreamers Are Dreaming
The preachers are preaching It's almost the end The dreamers are dreaming Of a planet earth when The masses aren't apathetic Drugged just getting by The situations pathetic So why give it a try
Guilty Of Apathy
The situation is useless We hold no hope Our ways can't be changed We're at the end of our rope This way of thinking Is where the problem lies Negative attitudes are sinking Too afraid to try We fear our destruction Yet guilty of apathy Free will our instruction While time dwindles rapidly
What You Already Knew
The signs are all over But you choose to ignore them Can't face up to reality Scared of the day when Our greed catches up And there's no avoiding Cause we're self destructing And not even caring What I'm saying is We've got the choice What I'm hoping is You hear my voice And become aware Before it's too late We all must care Cause it's all our fate There's only one way We'll make it through You got to realize today What you already knew
At Tomorrow's Expense
Open your eyes And see where you are blind We're ruining the earth And all of mankind Control population And turn to the sun Love your fellow man And throw away the gun Stop the pollution Before it's too late Feed the hungry Before they learn to hate Living for today At tomorrow's expense Letting them rule us Like we had no sense We got to get together And change the world
Drug Us All
Drugs here Drugs there There's always something To rid your care It never stops It's always there A constant crutch From the burden you share Keep us down Drug us all Not a sound Until the fall F ck it all Cause you don't care You've given up You've dropped your share Sold out to drugs Your everyday fix Easing your mind Of the everyday tricks
Together To Better
You can sit back And let it go on Take a kick back And fall for the con Look the other way Hear but don't listen All I'm trying to say Is common sense is missing How can we let Ourselves be fooled Why don't we get Our energies pooled Together to better And stop being ruled By corrupt politicians Leading us down Lose your inhibitions And gather around For unity is strength And strength we need To shorten the length Between poverty and greed To stop the pollution And worldwide hunger There's an easy solution That you've sometimes wondered If we all get together Throughout the world We could live forever The way you know it should be
Words Of Warning
You wake up each morning With only bad news to hear So I write you these words of warning To let you know of my fear We're letting it get out of control We're losing our grip We're selling our very soul We're aboard a sinking ship
Realize Now Or We're Done
We're using our advances wrong We destroy but not grow We're not going to be around very long If we don't change the show Cause this is all our earth So we must live as one And not strip its worth So realize now or we're done
Sometimes I Wish
Sometimes I wish I didn't know what I knew Sometimes I wish I didn't care but I do And it hurts to see The apathy around Everybody out for me Well I think we're bound For self destruction Unless there's to be found The logical deduction Of caring now For preservation but I don't see how With the road were choosing
Industrialed Ruin
Industrialed ruin Is where we're headed Industrailed ruin With workers imbedded Industrialed ruin Our paradise lost Industrialed ruin We'll pay the cost Industrialed ruin You don't care Industrialed ruin We're almost there Industrialed ruin Live for today Industrialed ruin Blinded to the way It was meant to be
Which Road To Walk
We're on the threshold We're at the fork We're at the point Which road to walk Destiny is ours In what we choose Everything rides It's either win or lose The stakes are high It's the last chance To either live or die It's in our hands The change we need Is plain to see No more greed And then we'll be Working together For the future Rest assured We carry on
Impossible Odds
Impossible odds Is what we're facing A world of hate Till the end we're racing Building our weapons When people are starving Fighting over our paradise When only harmony will save us
Raping The Earth And Selling The Shares
We can talk about it And talk about it But who really gives a sh t We can scream about it We can yell about it But still they won't quit Stealing what they think is theirs Raping the earth and selling the shares And everyday I ask but no one cares Conditioned in their way it just ain't fair
So Little We Know
So little we know But we don't care Let ignorance grow And leave us bare
Living Beyond Our Means
Living beyond our means Busting at our seams Yet still we want more Playing do or die The excitement of the try Will soon kill us for sure
Poetic Insight
Poetic insight Easily ignored Nuclear madness Taxed and adored Apathetic extinction Terminal trend Survival instinction Preservation's end
Try And Bring A Halt
We've advanced so far In too few years The masses in a jar Not knowing the fears They're playing with fire Like babies with a match Always shooting for higher When they don't know the catch We've got to slow down And play it safe Put our feet on the ground Before it's too late One button and it's gone No time to blink They couldn't back down No time to think We let it go on It's all our fault Look the other way Or try and bring a halt
A Reason To Believe
Don't you see Or are you blind The end is near But you can't find A reason to believe A word I say Cause you've been deceived In the worst way Surpressed to do What they want you to
Scared Of The Truth
Most of us know Our civilization could end But not many show Any concern to lend Scared of the truth You don't want to believe Cornered in your booth It's only yourself you deceive Let's fight for survival While there's still a chance Only a worldwide revival Peaceably showing our stance Could lead us away From the certain destruction The rulers of today Are killing us by corruption
Thank For What Is Ours
I drove down to the ocean That cold and windy night I walked along the beach Until it was nearly light I thought about so much Watching the waves and stars I just wanted to reach out and touch And thank for what is ours
So Much To Gain
So much to gain So much to lose Evolution in vain You've got to choose
Share Its Beauty
We waste so much We let it go by We're so out of touch Cause we don't even try To live in this world And share its beauty Or look for the future Perpetuation is our duty Realize it or don't want to But it's only getting worse And the longer you ignore it
No Wrong Or Right
Right wrong Wrong right My fault Your Fault Blinded by sight There is no answer No right or wrong Just Be here now Be your best Resonate love
Up To Us
The Illusions we choose Are up to us The dreams we lose We never did trust
The Sustainable Limits Have Past
Too ingrained to change The sustainable limits have past Time for order to rearrange Checks and balances brutally fast
Somehow Succeed
Are we scared Because we don't know Are we paired So conflict will grow Are we bred To learn to conform Are we led To kill and mourn Will life cease Because of greed Or will peace Somehow succeed It's up to you It's up to me To change ourselves To somehow see
Wanting Another Try
We've got the choice And I think it's time To show our voice Cause it's such a crime Living and knowing Of all the wrong Yet never even showing What we feel so strong So let's not sit back And just let it go by Cause we're on the wrong track Headed for an early good-bye So get up an say That we need a switch We want a new way We want it real quick They're ruining it all They're ruining it fast Making me hope each day That it won't be my last With their pollution and guns And their greed and neglect Nuclear power when we have the sun And all their drugs to keep us wrecked Don't you see through it They're just out for today They couldn't give a sh t About doing it the right way So let's not sit back And just let it go by Finally realizing too late And wanting another try
Childhood Adulthood
Childhood fun Innocent smiling Adulthood run Competitive lying
Apple Pie And Chevrolet
Brought up to believe That we are right Apple pie and Chevrolet And wars are to fight Only to realize How much is wrong How so few surpress The many so strong
The Black Hole In Space
Reality seems to be escaping Through the black hole in space Getting lost in a sea of confusion Walking around with the human race
Imprisoned In Strife
Addicted to this Addicted to that Building the bridges With the bricks you subtract All out of focus You live your lives Them feeding you nonsense And imprisoned in strife
Destruction's Doorstep
Bad to worse It will only get Destruction's doorstep If the population we let
Raw Beauty Nature
Windy spring day New life all around Golden sun ray Is lost and found Raw beauty nature You always astound Swaying trees moving clouds Birds chirping their glorious sound
The Greatest Of Ease
The words use to come together With the greatest of ease I thought it would last forever Until one day when the pen in my hand did freeze Not a clever phrase it would write I did not know what was wrong Emptiness and anguish I was not whole Bitterness and self doubt took their toll Now three years have past But during my drought I've asked Friends and strangers for answers It's just a phase it won't last My poems were to awaken all humankind To open our souls and help us find A new understanding while there's still time For our raping of nature is the last crime
Everything That Is
