Default I never write about politics, its kind of new ground...opinionz?

Ive Dove Too Deep Into These Books And I'm Running Short On Breath

I'll plant a rose, and sing my songs
You'll cut down a tree, and shut me up,
I'll dance all day, you'll tell me how,
I'll speak my mind, you'll tell me when I can.

Disect my thoughts, give me your facts,
Give me certain nightmares, crush my dreams,
Teach me the ignorance you've come to adore,
Ill be the student, if you'll be my teacher.

I'll question your authority, you'll slap me down,
I'll ask you questions, you'll answer me in silence,
You ask me to come along when I strike a nerve,
Remind me ignorance is truly a bliss, I say your
Goddamn politics ruined any peace I once had,
You shut me in a room, and force feed me every
Rule, just give me a fucking pen and i'll be free,
But the most powerful poems are usually firestarters,
I could waste my time asking for human rights,
Loving a boy, but being force to marry a woman,
I'll fight with my pen and guitar, and you can't
Shut me up forever, i'll speak my thoughts,
I'll fight with words and peace,
You'll fight with laws and guns,
I've dove too deep into the works of poets,
I'm running short on breath,
Just give me a fucking pen.
And the rebellion will never end.

Disect my thoughts, give me your facts,
Give me certain nightmares, crush my dreams,
Teach me the ignorance you've come to adore,
Tell me who I should hate, which races are great,
Teach me the ignorance you've come to adore,
Tell me who can love who, which god I should praise,
Teach me the ignorance you've come to adore,
Ill be the student, if you'll be my teacher.

I'll fight with my pen and guitar, and you can't
Shut me up forever, i'll speak my thoughts,
I'll fight with words and peace,
You'll fight with laws and guns,

The best lines ever are in bold.

I think it's well written. . . .

I think i'm gonna extend on this a bit more, I touch on a few of the subjects way too lightly and it isn't subtle enough.

Ditto. This is the best I've read from you yet.
The last part of it was the best.

it reminds me of another song I've hear before.... or at least remind me of them.. like a new Sam Roberts song.. I can see a bit in that.. with the guitar talk bit. the part 'i'll be the student if you'll be my teacher' sounds like i've heard it in another song.. but other then those two bits, I like it alot.. very well done ethan.. good work
