Global Reset? That may sound grand-
but many do not understand,
their New World Order is the goal-
a world divided, as a whole.
Two classes only, on the way-
Elites and those who will obey.
Then equity will be the rule;
equality- they'll overrule.
The total world will be one class-
to follow laws Elites will pass.
A robot, each of us will be;
controlled- yet told that we are free.
Who are these brash Elites, you ask,
responsible for this grim task?
Leaders who preach- "for thee- not me"
and each greed-filled monopoly.
No need to use our skills to work-
Elites will pass another perk
to make us feel that we're cared for;
to our own choices- close the door.
While people live an aimless life
and made to feel that it is rife-
Elites get richer by the day-
each one of us- a castaway.
Pandemic- used to test their skill-
to keep us bound with no free will.
To date, they've managed very well-
Oh God, please help us break this spell!

Nineteen eighty four was late
Not quite when Orwell said
But slowly and in increments
They are getting in your head
They're trying to change your thinking.
Quite slowly day by day
Affecting how you view the world
And, controlling what you say
You're not allowed to voice your thoughts
'cause folk might get offended
Even though they are innocent
With no offence intended
This modern world is changing
Surreptitiously it seems
It won't be long before they start
Policing all our dreams
They'll cart you off and lock you up
It'll be no use complaining
Then put you in room 101
for thought police retraining
I am King,
I can do anything,
I am so clever,
Better than ever,
I am superman,
Have many a fan,
Did you say mask,
I’ll put you to task,
My opponent
Should be jailed,
And I hailed
For my success,
Opponent thinks
I’m a mess.
Let him win,
I know,
He won’t take the stress!
My rose garden,
The media say,
Caused disarray,
Many caught the virus
Far from desirous
Death rates are irrelevant
The man states,
As hundreds of
Thousands meet their fates.
A catastrophe, a crisis!
Doe he not care,
Does he not see
That America is at sea,
The Nation has no leader,
But do have,
A fake pretender,
Who has encouraged,
A far right movement
To grow, thus damaged
The USA, he blames
China, and has challenged
World Presidents,
He has fired
And hired,
Separated parents
From children
He has made a zillion
Mistakes, a real villain!
His rallies
A reality show,
Which we all know,
The truth will be revealed
We will always remember
The 3rd November,
As History is made,
Don’t be afraid,
We have prayed
God knows best,
As both men are
Put to the test!
God Help Us When Afraid
God help us, when we became afraid;
Through problems and fears will wade;
Experience sorrow,
Today and tomorrow,
Caused by sinners who have strayed.

More people harmed in a synagogue
in Pittsburg. More to worry about.
Bauer obviously is German and may
be of Jewish ancestry. Another hate
crime.
The world today has so much hatred
No virtues, nothing is held sacred
Everyone lives next to strangers, they never get to know
In apartments condos above or below
All of us bleed red, you are all my sisters and brothers
Dear God help us not see in color
When we see cultures, a lot of times
We tend to think only the bad in our minds
We can learn a lot from our children to accept people for who they are
Our racial tensions should be put away in a shatterproof jar
Predjudices should be buried in the ground, just like our ancestors next to one
another
We have got to stop seeing each other in color
Never mind the stranger on the bus sitting next to you
If that person suddenly collapsed, what would you do
If you take the time to say hello, get to know him or her
Life should not be lived in a cold uncaring blur
Love for our fellow humans should not be kept under cover
Let's all strip away the color
