Wake Up
Wake Up
The prison walls come down,
Mankind as one, willingly imprisoned themselves,
A little push with fear and lies,
Everybody bent over without even questioning their word, why?
Now I see a complete lack of brotherhood,
No morals in what you do,
When you grass up your neighbour, or a stranger who did nothing to you,
You applaud authority whilst they beat your fellow men,
Who is worse? The violent thugs in uniform or the sadistic audience?
Now they can see how easy it is,
How feeble we are, giving away all of our rights,
Locking ourselves away without a fight,
No signs of uniting or questioning the hype,
Turn on your TV, spend hours on facebook, fulfill your life with likes.
What a disappointment we are,
For those who fought and died,
For liberty, revolutionised mankind,
Only for it to be lost by the spread of a flu,
Now they know how easy this is to do,
Security without freedom is prison,
Your health is not at stake, the illness will go away, the poison will stay,
This isn't to do with health.
Wake up to see the reality,
Take off those unprotective masks,
Breathe in the air of sanity,
This is the last chance we have to amend the damage,
Their future for us has already started,
I believe in free will,
Not a society of slavery,
Born from fear and manipulation,
Mass control of the population,
We have a right to privacy,
Yet we just gave it up in blind belief and loyalty,
To those who don't care about you or me...Wake up.
