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

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

It is a plan… (poetry)

It is a plan

They do not hide

One of conquer

And divide

Propaganda

So much for show

Keep us apart

Turn friend to foe

To make it work

They had to get

An increased level

Of personal threat

To make you fear

Your fellow man

See them as infected

And then they can

Have their rules

And change of law

But I have to wonder

What is the straw

That will break the camels back

Rhyme and Reason

Volume 2 coming soon – Volume 1 (2018) available now.

I try each day… (poetry)

I try each day

To keep my cool

While treated like

A child and fool

Reminding me

Of being grounded

No fun, no friends

Completely hounded

On the whim

Of ones deranged

Drunk in their power

They have changed

And taken over

Each thought and act

Of our lives

But it’s a fact

That really we

Can’t stay like this

We want to live

Not merely exist

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

Rhyme and Reason – Vol 1 (2018) – Volume 2 coming soon…

It’s like in a story… (poetry)

It’s like in a story

A fairy tale

While evil reigns

Can good prevail

We watch and hope

On the edge of our seat

Wanting to know

We can defeat

The darkness coming

Across the land

While trying our best

To understand

What happens next

We just don’t know

We’re told to wing it

Just go with the flow

But now the flow

Is just too weird

It makes no sense

And is being steered

Into the abyss

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

Sometimes it is… (poetry)

Sometimes it is

An absolute must

That in yourself

You need to trust

Just what it is

You think and feel

To know illusion

From what is real

Sometimes that

Which is in hand

Can take a while

To understand

And really know

What has occurred

We’re only told

Through tainted word

So thought it can

Assist us through

To try and discover

The false from true

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

Volume 1 (2018) – available below, volume 2 underway…

We can’t condone… (poetry)

We can’t condone

Just what they stole

They took our lives

To have control

Despite attempts

The truth does travel

We see the lies

Start to unravel

What they say

And what we see

Just doesn’t stack up

In reality

It feels all wrong

And looks it too

No need for doubt

If it were true

There is so much

For us to lose

While they gain

We’ll have to chose

What happens next…

Rhyme and Reason
