Don'T Let Our Futures Turn To Sorrow

Another head hangs low, Open up your eyes, Nothing left to show, In for a surprise. Brainwash subliminal, Far too criminal, What to do when it all goes bang? Safe to say the fat lady sang. Free peoples unite, The time has come to fight, World leaders in cahoots, Lost meanings of salutes. Boiling in to a revolution, Seems to me the only solution. Creative arts lost their purpose, Look far beneath the surface. People flocking to normality, What happened to individuality? Freedom to think doth still remain, Ability to question we must retain. Lessons of the past slowly erased, Rights and freedoms slowly defaced. Today is only the past of tomorrow, Don't let our futures turn to sorrow.
