I am a Refugee

I'm a refugee in my own country I'll never be free because they've labelled me They say I'm far right And I'm not too bright Took away free speech Now it's out of reach My mother would tell me as I sat upon her knee how we had saved the world from tyranny. She'd say how great we were how freedom was our spur I had no idea this situation could occur. I'm a refugee In my own country And if I speak out They'll throw away the key David Cox 07/09/24
