Lost

Seems these days that we are lost. Unable to see where we came from is a real tragedy. The past is a necessary component in life to help give the future a little direction. If we can’t hold tight to a shared set of values and beliefs then chaos ensues. I hope our chaos comes to an end someday, but so many are ruled by their emotions that they can’t see the truth that lies before them.

Power Pervades
 
Cover up
Clam up
Protect them
Protect us
 
Not safe here
Not safe there
Never safe anywhere
 
More dangerous 
The lies they tell us
Forgetting to be civil
 
Red-faced and screaming
It all seems so unjust
 
It’s not about your feelings
It’s about freedoms
 
Automatons repeating
Memorized lines
A psychological divide
 
It’s not about us
The power pervades
 
It’s not about safety
The control invades
 
Cover up
Do what’s right
Protect them
Never us
