Like some ungodly weight
Straight from my back and shoulders.
This ink that I've been given left me stronger, even bolder,

See how long I have been hunched,
Like some tortured, aging mule.
The pages burning ink and fury, I'm the fire not fool.

Touch ground for one last second
Weightless now I touch the clouds.
Never stopping for a second, I am never coming down.

Do you accept the terms and conditions?
Clicked so unwittingly,
Private information sold to the highest bidder,
Read the small print and it's plain to see.

Nothing is yours any-longer,
They know you better than yourself,
Corporations and governments unite,
They sell your data with the upmost stealth.

The all seeing eye is upon us,
And its glare seeks to remand,
We unknowingly sign away our lives,
It's a sphere of oppression, an arm, a hand.

The people must fight this tyranny,
We can't roll over and play dead,
We are more than a wire to be tapped,
Oppose the militant laws that seek to deflate us with dread.

Don't find trust in empty promises,
Manifesto's weighing heavy with slander and lies,
Find trust in the people,
Our independence must never die.

Do you accept the terms and conditions?
We must stand against the corrupt,
Despotism enveloped by mock democracy,
The free public must erupt.
Inspiration came from a massively eye-opening documentary on the connections between massive corporations, privvy to all our private data, and the governments of the world. It is unacceptable

Humanity* these days sounds like fantasy ,
Where there is a world of *Justice
, respect and equality ,
Here's the truth fellow!
You don't know anything,
The place where you live,
Is a place of dreams and longings,
You keep your hopes alive,
Even if someone comes and kills you with a knife,
You hope that it doesn't hurt
But it does!
You say they are not humans,
nor their religion is a religion,
They **** others to keep their faith alive ,
But you think it's okay to make fun of the feelings of billions of lives,
You call it Freedom  of   Speech ,
So they have an excuse of what they did
And they call it Freedom of action,
It may give them satisfaction,
But here's another side of the picture
What those Muslims did in france,
Made   Muhammad  happy ? No  chance!
Muhammad always went through this disrespectful  behaviour , from non Muslims during his life,
But always sent   blessings  on them,
instead of cursing them,
You still say you'll draw cartoons ?
I say for the sake of your Lord
Don't act  like  fools ,
That day shall too arrive,
When you'll see the result of those who misguide
I don't support what had been done in Paris.
But I also don't support what Paris was doing.
Muhammad PBUH never gave Muslims  the right to **** non Muslims just because they disrespect our Messenger but he PBUH taught us to be gentle and kind towards them and guide them about right things.
We don't need to **** in order to strengthen our faith.
But you also have no need to do these kind of foolish acts to show your moral values. Respect others and be respected.

Offence has no real validity,
Yet it is used to justify the taking of lives
Is there one, that the world does not offend
If so that person has not lived or felt,

Warlords, rapists, racists, murderers and those who are cancers on society walk among us daily
Those who profess to know the will of god and act on his behalf,
Perceiving  and executing unhelpful dogma that infects our reality  

The words respect and correctness have become harbingers for cowards,
As our muteness silently strips us of our freedom,
Apologies are offered gift wrapped in fear
Sticks and stones still break our bones but pictures and words now ****** us
12 people had their lives taken by three machine gunmen in Paris on Tuesday 7th January 2015. They were killed in and outside of the building of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. The attack was for cartoonists who had depicted Muhammad in a cartoon. Yes, twelve people lost their lives over a cartoon. An absolute tragedy.

Me.
To be what they want me to be.

Not so perfect I wonder, to be what they want me to be.

Call me crazy to be what they want me to be.

Hopes high for me to be what they want me to be.

Praise for passed accomplishments not for them but for me, not to be what they want me to be.

— The End —
