whatever happened to

it’s lonely standing outside the cage with the left of centre attitude as the majority look upon with disdain whatever happened to freedom of expression? the darkness casts no shadows now that the sold dream has morphed into a nightmare and the path to dystopia is starting to get worn populism has become democracies illusion when opinions expressed go against the grain whatever happened to freedom to free speech? a muzzled voice can’t scream so they just point and silently laugh at the different but who is laughing? behind the light the fork tongue speaks through blinded eyes and closed ears they perceive it to be true the oils blackness has now seeped the 21st century plague has eaten the jelly brains now blindly follow question not when the alarm bell rings they all stop to sing its tune and those standing left of centre are looked upon with disdain whatever happened to the right of having a different opinion?
