Reveille
by Adam Cossin


	I’d trade in longevity
	For a short, happy life.
	I believe my generation
	Bleeds for liberation
	Some of us speak their mind
	And we understand our circumstances
	And deny our being victims...
	We scream, we cry, we echo
	We turn away from the folklore
	And feel the Real
	We devour trivia
	And understand our predicament.
	We decree old religion
	Because we see the sham
	We declare a new religion
	Glorifying life
	And it’s you who does not understand us
	As we understand you:
	We’ve seen you change
	We’ve seen what you can do....
	We’ve watched you stagnate,
	But you ain’t seen nothing yet!
