I was reading about in a book and it talked of the cultural revolution in china, people there at one time frowned upon the teaching of western music, people would be punished by being put in chains, or shoved in a shed with other believesthese people went through so much and for what? For having something to believe in
Some have been beaten
Some have died
But many stand by their side
And for what?
For believing
In what you want
But then youre caught
A higher power says youre not to do so
They tell you youre thoughts have to go
And for what?
Because its not what they want
No matter how many they have beaten
No matter how many have died
There will be another to be at their side
To take their place
To keep the pace
Off their race to fight for their thoughts
There will always be people to fight the fights that need to be fought
Revolutions, will be set in motion
All because one died for his cause
He set gave others emotion
Power to fight by his side
If it is for the right
No one could stop the fight
A revolution set in motion
Powered by raw emotion
Powered with the music of the soul
So many people have went through so much
And For what?
For having something to believe in

| I enjoyed reading this. This is such a powerful write. We should be allowed to believe in what we want as long as it doesn't conflict with the rights of others! Awesome poem! |
