I come in peace
Does not mean
I come to please
It means
More or less
I come complete
Although in bad tiding it may be
And a messenger is all you see
Whatever misery
Caused by the riddles I speak
A be remedied
Once you learn to hear me
You see
I have a message
From all you seek
It says believe
And I know you might think
That as the advocate of unchased dreams
In a land where the giants became the priest
That’s easier said than done
But it’s thoughts like that, that keep you stuck
Free will, isn’t free want
It means, it’s free to go get
Go fish, if you have to
And I wish this message came with a map too
But every destination is a tattoo
A tropical taboo
Of blood, and ink, forget me not blue
No, I’m not you
But we are
Is where every revolutionary change starts
Your Brother in Love and Truth
