the barefoot bard Poet Rhyme

Divide and Conquer

Hair is an antenna to warn and protect us from lurking dangers that abound
Forced by government agencies to sever their long hair
North American Indians, could no longer track footprints, imprinted on the ground

There is now some evidence that hair is integral to maintain  a healthy immune system
Perhaps it does explain, when sporting short locks. a popular fashion for men
why they have a life span that is shorter than their counterparts, beautiful long haired women

Separation of society begins when very young, a majority choice 
is that long hair is more suitable for girls
Short hair is mostly applied to young boys , who also look great
with long wavy hair adorned with many curls

When military conscription does begin, immediate humiliation is performed
Recruits all lined up so the army can hack of all their hair
They say it's for hygiene but is it designed, to weaken the new recruit ?
who then conforms to the discipline of the army lair

Conditioning of society , many ways "THEY" ??? can control
And the people consent without an explanation
They act so much like sheep, belly up is how they roll

And as you ponder what I have written and what you have just read
Check the scriptures which tell about the strength of Samson
And how he lost his power when Delilah shaved his head 

Every depiction which shows the face of Jesus, this is the way it seems to be
Long and flowing locks with beard, that's what I always see

Apart from the hair ,exists other regulating forms,
 in the classrooms children separated by their age
Dress regulations in the army, the workplace and the schools
Introduction of a hi viz safety vest, now part of the mad controlling rage

Many years ago in this sunny Queensland state
 children could attend a school without wearing shoes
The excuse used now for control, bare feet may cause an injury an thus an insurance claim
It's safety regulation, along with uniforms, there's no longer an option but to follow what they choose

Safety and insurance it erodes our daily lives
used by authorities to take away God's given suveran right
Do you wish for this system to continue and we all remain enslaved ??
time to LET YOUR HAIR DOWN, put up a passive fight

The author of these verses, almost an octogenarian
maintains a long white beard and head of robust healthy hair
As both have stopped growing for two decades or more
It's been that long since he sat upon a hairdressers chair
