Revised Version Enslavement of a Lesser Being

Freedom won on a distant battlefield Gallant words to remember them by Unspoken tears for the old to cry, A game for the young to play Never a thought for freedoms way . For tyrants are easy to spot Peaceful takeovers not, Look through the haze . For when wheat replaces the meadows The birds have no home When forests are felled, Extinction will come You are a commodity, For globalisation has won . When TV calls caressing your soul With the next discount, and “Yes its free fitting” Without a shot being fired Your future mortgaged . And when your ration of bread Demands the last fish in the sea Neatly Packaged and dolphin free Who will pay the price? . This is the legacy There is no escape Big brother is watching . Mankind in a zoo of its own creation Come, peer through the bars at, This condemnation of society broken For freedom lies on the other side.
