Strike for REAL music

So why is feeling pain relavant to a war on thoughtless creativity?

Because thoughtless creativity represents the heroine everyone is being fed with short dose wifi needle injected media on social networks and now people are being bombarded with advertisements to embrace this thoughtless creativity via automated tools. It's limiting the scope of the human condition by not selling the importance of not being afraid to feel your pain as that's life and that's how we grow and find ever new levels of content and happiness that we can share and enjoy with eachother. The pian is our reference to improve upon ourselves as individuals and it's bloody hard and feeling it wakes you up. Capitalistic power and fundamentalist creeds don't want you to do that because you are more controlable tuned out from yourself


The Poem

Strike for your pain

We've hiked through the darkness
Crushed our hearts
Then pumped them up
New hopeful start
We strike for pain
We want to feel it
New reference we gain
Good feelings transmute it

Strike for your pain
New reference we gain
Good feelings

See that's transcendance
Learning when lost
Acknowledging fear
And tilt to new course
With each new direction
Less fear finds feather
Native reflection
Finds presence for better

Strike for your pain
New reference we gain
Good feelings

We've made the peak
We found our light
Old fear now feeble
Mused mind sets insight
Now we can see
Like true observers
Climb your mountain and see
Pain thats past is quite virtuous


Strike for your pain
New reference we gain
Good feeling...

Strike for your pain
New reference we gain
Good feeling...

Ahhhhhh yeah
Ohhhh ooo
Ooo Ohhhh Ooo
Yeah 🕺🏻🫡💪🏽🧬🎶🌍

Strike for your Pain
