Safety Unwasted

"Safety", UnWasted First, they told you; "it's for you" Next, they told us; "It is for those you love" Now, they tell us, who to blame When will you see the damage being done? I hear it said; "you're selfish" I hear them say; "we cannot stress enough" And now, the stores have mandates When will you see the damage being done? The internet; now censored Even the military has been forced This will never go away When will you see the damage being done? Now, I'm told, "to keep your job ...." Why should I, have to sacrifice my views? I do not fear what they say When will you see the damage being done? I understand how you feel but, when they say; "it's for the greater good" I take a pause; then I pray When will you see the damage being done? This is all so much bigger And a ploy; as they're transferring our wealth And they will do away with cash When will you see the damage being done? They may call it equity Destroying statues and our history Is freedom; now, in the past? When will you see the damage being done? No longer; afraid of dying This is so much more than just an illness There is tyranny at the door When will you see the damage being done? Until your wallet's empty And your family is going hungry Will you understand my view When will you see the damage they have done! ©2021 Jeffrey Spencer
