The Appeal & the Mindsweep I

This is an appeal

To the struggling and striving

Stakeholders of this planet

This floating rock we call Earth

Alas, that means you

That means everyone of your acquaintance

Every figure your eyes skim past in the street

Every charlatan still to defeat

Every tender face you find solace in

Now mimic the mindset William Wallace was in

Dismount, disembark, descend from your existance

Slacken your angst and decant your hate

Cause in the long run they're about as useful

As pouring acid onto your dinner plate

To muzzled masses that lead lives

Of deafening desperation

With Excalibur aloft King Arthur earned the throne

But it's our minds we got to wrench out of the stone

Don't be fooled by it's simplicity

There was never a broadcast made of such urgency

Cause at no time before us

Did we grasp the scope of this emergency

Ladle out love and logic by the boatload

Equipped with that cargo you can take any road

Now grab life; seize time

This fight is for human kind

I am a mindsweeper

Focus on me

I am a mindsweeper

Focus on me

I will read your mind

I dart through rapids; through streams of thought

Then suddenly I started losing my mind

Catapulting through the uncharted

I could no longer tell if these were your thoughts or mine

And if was as if I held a mirror up to my soul

Who was the author?

And who was the observer?

For at the last analysis our thoughts coalesced

Your are not alone

You have entered volatile territory

You have started a journey; you're part of this story

And this, this was just a glimpse

You've no idea what you've got yourself into
