"The Time Is Now"

the time is now
for you to rise
the time is right
to realize
the lies behind truth's guise

the time is now
to see the light
the time is right
to expedite
dreams thought out of sight

the time is now
for you to see
the time is right
for you to be
the you forever free

the time is now...

The time is now
for people to unite
all over the planet

The time is now
to accept the consequences
for your own actions.

The time is now
to eliminate genocide
and love your brothers and sisters

The time is now
to wake up and realize
that the man standing
right in front of you
is holding a bomb
in his hands

as all the 'believers'
of the rapture
are standing
behind him smiling.

Now Is The Time
Hafiz (Adapted)

Now is the time to know
That all that you do is sacred.

Now is the time to understand
That all your ideas of right and wrong
Were just a child's training wheels
To be laid aside
When you finally live
With veracity
And love.

Now is the time for the world to know
That every thought and action is sacred.

This is the time for you to compute the impossibility
That there is anything
But Grace.

Now is the season to know
That everything you do
Is sacred.





Hafiz was a Persian mystic and poet. He was born sometime between the years 1310 and 1337 in Shiraz, at the foot of the Zagros Mountains in southwest Iran

Time,
Is a never ending,
Creation.

Time,
Is relativity's
Designation.

Time,
Has its moments,
Of elation.

Doing time,
Turns it on its head.
Desolation.

But above all,
Time,
Is the poet's
Inspiration.
