Welcome To the Time Warp

Welcome to the Time Warp

Does it seems that history seemingly repeats 
Where the simplicity of life is so rare to find
And the kindness of heart finds no retreats
No sharing of wealth, greediest of mankind 

Where fear amongst the masses abound
Perpetrated by forces designed to protect us
Where human rights are lost without a sound
Our way of life changed, forever superfluous 

Freedom of speech is silenced by the stroke of a pen
Unsure of what we’re told, will these lies never end
Being controlled by the wealthiest of businessmen 
And our losses of freedom too much to comprehend 

Welcome to the time warp, once again we all fall prey 
We become just pawns to an unjust power once again
Perhaps it’s time to take a stand, one voice have our say
The time has come to speak freely, if not now, then when

Hi Charlie, I enjoyed reading your poem; it's a real Gem. It's my first time seeing your great work. Talking about writing a single line would shut everyone up forever. When human rights are violated, no one cares. Does history repeat itself? The selfish are incapable of demonstrating sympathy. These are great subjects. Blessings and best regards
