So much has happened

It’s hard to explain

And so consumed

One can’t contain

The rug’s been pulled

From underfoot

While what you knew

Is firmly put

Away, behind you

To be no more

The futures changed

And now seems war

Is being raged

Against your mind

Manipulated

I think you’ll find

What they seek

They do not hide

To conquer us

They must divide

What we think

And friend from friend

And forward we go

To whatever end

Rhyme and Reason

While weighing up

What is the cost

It makes you think

Of what you’ve lost

Some may see

Better times ahead

Others could be

Filled with dread

No one knows

In part or whole

Except the feeling

Of no control

Holding our breath

Just told to wait

And wonder what

Will be our fate

(c) K Wicks

It’s been quite hard

For us to observe

It’s only two weeks

To flatten the curve

Spinning yarns

They still deny

Doing what it takes

To make us comply

What we see

Vs what they say

Do not question

But blindly obey

It’s all so wrong

Yet here we are

And I wonder

Just how far

It will go

(c) K Wicks

Rhyme and Reason

It’s hard to sit

Just to wait

See what occurs

What is our fate

Time moves on

With growing strain

Each day consumed

I wrack my brain

Somethings missing

We’ve lost our way

Getting worse

Day after day

Is it wrong

To still have hope

Or is that denial

And a way to cope

With life?

(c) K Wicks

Rhyme and Reason

In this created

Pile of gloom

There’s so much

Impending doom

Can’t go back

No moving on

The futures late

And the past is gone

Not knowing what

Or where to go

Our lives on hold

And stuck in limbo

It would be great

If the path was clear

Instead its blocked

With all the fear

(c) K Wicks

Rhyme and Reason

In a country

Going broke

They want compliance

From all the folk

To take more money

From your purse

Then blow it all

It’s so perverse

It’s also time

They’re going to take

And wont be happy

Till we all break

I want for better

And hope we find

A way to escape

This total mind

Fuck

(c) K Wicks

Rhyme and Reason

If you look close

Not hard to spot

Connect the facts

Like dot to dot

Don’t look in part

But at the whole

It’s not about health

But pure control

What they want

One can’t deny

It’s do as we say

You must comply

I wonder how long

We’ll take this crap

At what point

Does everyone snap?

(c) K Wicks

Rhyme and Reason

It’s something that

I do despise

People who can’t tell

Nowt but lies

What that breeds

Can be confusion

If in those lies

There is collusion

It can make one

Feel quite alone

Because of a truth

That isn’t known

Be aware of lies and bullshit

(c) K Wicks

Rhyme and Reason

Topsy turvy

The world was thrown

Into disarray

And now has grown

To be so strange

It seems unreal

To even know

Just how to feel

When what was hidden

In your head

Is suddenly

Real life instead

It’s not quite what

I thought would be

It’s even worse

And all can see

The lies…
