There comes a time… (poetry)

There comes a time

When we must face

This has become

A huge disgrace

It’s more than just

A travesty

It now has morphed

To tyranny

Holding to ransom

Our days and years

Changing our thoughts

And filling with fears

Where once before

Were hope and dreams

Now it’s different

And not what it seems

We have been tricked

And led astray

Down a dark path

That only they

Know where it leads…

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

Within this strange… (poetry)

Within this strange

And blinkered mess

There seems so much

Fear and distress

To hear them say

I know it’s tough

Doesn’t quite cut it

And isn’t enough

Asked to have

Some more patience

Yet what we need

Is to see sense

It’s madness and folly

I won’t deny

With every breath

They can’t help lie

Your life and time

Is what they stole

And now they have

Complete control

Will they just give it up?

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

It seems as if… (poetry)

It seems as if

The stage is set

To try and make

Us all forget

What came before

And how it was

Changing facts

And truth because

It doesn’t fit

With what they do

They want us scared

Not knowing what’s true

As we might notice

And really see

Under this regime

We’re no longer free

To live and breath

And hold what’s dear

Instead they want

Us living in fear

Of each other

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

It’s now a minefield… (poetry)

It’s now a minefield

Of what to believe

Months of lies

Have now achieved

Mass confusion

And split the crowd

Just one narrative

They shout so loud

It’s deafening

To the point of numb

Ignoring all else

They think we’re dumb

But we aren’t

We’ve just been used

To keep us all

Dazed and confused

But now is not

The time to sleep

To blindly follow

Like herded sheep

Use your brain

And apply some thought

To think outside

What you’ve been taught

It may just save us all

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

Look around… (poetry)

Look around

And really see

They’re shaping

A new reality

It’s not normal

And should be shunned

How we got here

I’m frankly stunned

But now we are

No time for shock

Gather your thoughts

And then take stock

Of what it means

And where we go

A starting point

So that we know

To not be scared

And chose to hide

Instead stand up

And must decide

Where this all goes…

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

It’s becoming obvious…(poetry)

It’s becoming obvious

And frightening clear

Instead of facts

They’re using fear

Follows no logic

But works a charm

And feels more like

They mean us harm

Playing with peoples

Lives and dreams

It’s all messed up

And not what it seems

Not all are ok

Not sure how to deal

With being locked down

The struggle is real

It’s hard to fathom

Just what’s been lost

And really how

To measure the cost

While it goes on

One could presume

We’re being led

Towards our doom

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

Perhaps we’d have… (poetry)

Perhaps we’d have

More confidence

If what we’re told

Made more sense

Their response

Is be more strict

But in their lies

They contradict

Even themselves

It’s just so weird

But as it unfolds

It’s as I feared

Gone from bad

To strange then worse

What they are doing

Is so perverse

It boggles my mind

How all don’t see

They tapped our fear

Of mortality

And are using it against us

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

It seems that maybe…(poetry)

It seems that maybe

Some didn’t see

We’re already chased

By mortality

But using every

Daily breath

To spend your time

Avoiding death

It seems a loss

And quite a waste

When time is short

We should make haste

To live our lives

And make them full

Just be aware

And responsible

For you and yours

And what you do

To keep it real

And know what’s true

In these dark and strange times

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

How is it really… (poetry)

How is it really

Meant to play out

We can talk and cry

And scream and shout

But in the end

We have to admit

The logic has crumbled

Bit by bit

And stuck we are

On doomed repeat

Within our minds

We can’t feel beat

Although a madness

It does seem

Has taken the helm

Like in a dream

And into the dark

Your mind is steered

You try to wake

But as you feared

There is no change

In what you see

Because the madness

Is reality

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks
