The Pressure of Fear

I see you
All your many disguises
To steal peace and loot away joy

I see you
You aren’t worthy of note or mention
But for some reason you get people to give you a standing ovation

You are false
bad bad guy
You lie lie lie

As much as we know it — we give you time to try
You are not easy
You are not cool
You are not kind
And I am no fool

We know your tools
Stay out there deceiving
Ready for hearts not rooted in loving
Not just any loving
But Love’s loving
True Loving

Your pressure, so suffocating
If you are allowed, permitted
Mr. Fear who let you in here
Who gave you a pass -

Mind Gate — Wake Up
Stay Up
Guard Heart
Shield Eyes
Stop Ears

Filter all from coming in
Who belong to Deceit

Heart be flooded with Joy
Heart be drenched with peace
Spirit Man look up

Stay looking at the true light
Bold heart, take courage
You are now free

Embrace this glorious liberty
Forsake not Mercy

Sit pretty!

Boundaries release
The bounties you seized
Thief let go of your loot

Yes you, drop down to your knees

Children! Come! Take!
All that was always yours to have
