I wrote this a year ago, so and points that co-relate To claims or of evidence circulating more recently Were unknown at the time of my writing this piece I had indeed sent a copy to a well respected member Of poetry soup, that will bear out my description as To not knowing the future 'only God can know that' All blessings and enlightenment to the reader.'
They’ll take it away they’ll take it away See them talk much of freedom Just to take it Aa-way… There’s talk of disruption; there was talk Of great fear, rumour and murmur It’s been never real clear They’ve played in emotion on the health service too… Elevated to a point; that whatever they’d Do, would just go unquestioned by the Many or few. They’ll take it away they’ll take it away To protect your dear freedom they’ll take it away? Even though there are medics who have Been really brave. Who walked from a Service that has become a slave Yes they’d take it away ohh they’d take it away Your desires inner fire; they’d take it away But the people aren’t stupid they have Learned on the way, now they will march in Their millions, the horizons will sway There is talk at the bus stop; there is Talk in the morgues; conjecture on golf Greens in land and sea ports The resentment is building as the Knowledge is too, we are not Medieval Or illiterate fools We know there’s a sickness that has Got out of hand It’s just plain coercion We have the following plan We’ll take it way we’ll take it way, we will Dance on your evil delusions as we take them Aa-waay. ©Joe Maverick 22/06/2021

Love this, Joe. It's even a bit like a song with the refrain . If polished up to be shorter like a song, I could see it being sung by freedom fighters. happy New Year to you, my friend.

Hello Andrea, may the blessings Of God Almighty remain upon You; I hope it would be able to Work as a song? Maybe a More uniform refrain line would be key?
