Wakey wakey
The bubble must burst
There is something
Of the worst
Most heinous act
Of our world
Before our eyes
Has unfurled
Open your eyes
And you may see
The greatest crime
On humanity
Pay attention

Wakey wakey

To the future
We turned our eyes
For in the now
We did despise
How the world
Did so appear
Lacing our minds
With hate and fear
Divide and conquer
Was their goal
To gain your trust
And then control

Filling heads
With so much crap
They’re overflowing
And ready to snap
But faster now
The need is more
To capture minds
And what it’s for
Liberty
Is what they stole
Leading to
Complete control
Reporting what
They say has been
To program you
With just a screen

It puts a feeling
In your brain
One of complete
And utter disdain
But one that was
Not unforeseen
Predictable
Is what they’ve been
The weak of mind
No strength of heart
It was written
From the start
They would fail you…

When a life
Is all but spent
Should one reflect
Perhaps repent
Or are the things
We’ve done and said
Unchangeable
So find instead
That we accept
It’s just the way
That life played out
And day by day
Resign ourselves
To not being late
For time it follows
That is our fate

As it unfolds
What is on show
The greatest crime
We’ll never know
Shown just what
We’re meant to see
Given a choice
But not for free
What they take
Is more than thought
A new future
Is being taught
And it’s coming…

(c) K Wicks
Rhyme and Reason
We found ourselves
In crazy times
Thoughts & words
Were deemed crimes
But in that way
We’ve always been
Told what is right
And what’s obscene
But best these days
To keep your thought
Inside your head
So you’ll be taught
That it’s best
To pretend
In case you find
You do offend

It’s usually more
Than we would ask
Of ourselves
A particular task
One which robs you
Of your will
It shuts you down
And yet you still
Believe somewhere
Inside your brain
Thinking we
Can take the strain
But for how long?…

(c) K Wicks
Rhyme and Reason
They tell you what
Is coming next
To lay the scene
And the context
Warning some
Not to resist
While some decide
Who can exist
The tables are turned
Freedoms taken
And to the core
Society shaken
Now a quickly
Changing world
A different future
Does unfold

(c) K Wicks
Rhyme and Reason
People today
So filled with rage
But only if
They have a stage
Showing off
Their tiny mind
In some strange way
Hoping to find
A kind of release
From all the strain
The hurt in mind
And all the pain
But thought it takes
Not through fear
And time will tell
If they will hear
Reason
