It seems that only

Time will tell

If we the people

Can break the spell

Words were cast

And thoughts created

To steer us to

What they have fated

For us all

And set in motion

And now seems tied

To a certain potion

A type of devilry

It is afoot

And wants us all

Firmly put

In our place

And not to know

The truth of it all

Behind the show

~

But the façade is slipping…

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

A madness now

It has descended

And personal rights

Must be defended

From the group

Who seem to feel

They have a right

With no appeal

For others they think

They get to decide

While feeling scared

They want to hide

Behind the ‘new normal’

Insidious veil

The stage has been set

For an epic tale

And now we are here

All that we can know

Is who can you trust

Who is friend from foe?

~

It may be important

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

It’s strange you know

I can’t deny

How those that chose

To blindly comply

Think it is

Even mildly ok

To force their will

And what they say

Upon those folk

Who choose to hold

And wait to see

If what’s being sold

Is in fact

Another lie

There’s been so many

And how they try

But desperation

Becomes the theme

To embolden the flock

To be extreme

Instead they sound

Like pushers of old

Repeating themselves

Until they are told

~

To fuck off

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

While looking down

They just can’t see

And seems a shock

We want to be free

From their weird

New medical rules

We are not sick

And are not fools

But playing the game

They are in deep

So much on the line

We need to keep

Our wits and senses

As sharp as knives

More than now

It’s about our lives

And what’s to come

The future’s near

And shouldn’t be dark

Or framed with fear

~

But that’s how they are making it

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

And now it’s split

They did the deed

To separate us

They planted the seed

Creating a lack

Of unity

Destroying friendships

And family

Turning people

Against their kind

By twisting facts

Within their mind

And now it’s fractured

It’s hard to see

Just what they expect

From society

They are just people

From up on high

Shouting loudly

You must comply

But when you’ve given

Lots of thought

To how things run

And what you’re taught

A different side

It does emerge

And all that learning

Does converge

~

To make your own informed decision

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

If your ideals

They do offend

Do not hide them

Or pretend

To be that which

Just isn’t you

Hold your belief

And what is true

Within your heart

And in your mind

Can bring a calm

And you might find

That knowing this

Can make you strong

To even admit

When you are wrong

But when you know

It’s just not right

Something compels you

To stand and fight

You feel it’s wrong

In every bone

They want us to feel

Lost and alone

And in this charade

We try and make sense

While many are stuck

It seems on the fence

~

Or just don’t see where this is going

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

This way of thought

They’ve laid on thick

We ‘re all gonna die

That rhetoric

Thinking of dangers

Round every turn

It’s conditioning

They want us to learn

And know our place

In their new world

Where we’ll be watched

And all controlled

Being hooked up

And integrated

If you think for yourself

You’ll be berated

Because my friends

It seems through fear

And propaganda

It would appear

They’ve turned some folk

Against their own

Right from the start

The seeds were sown

~

And have been well tended ever since

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

Let’s not mince words

And just be clear

What has occurred

Is project fear

Changing the face

Of reality

Replacing facts

With insanity

No logic or reason

And stirring up hate

Giving us things

To associate

With those fears

And make them more

Planting the seeds

For a social war

And one of the mind

They want your thought

Stressed and strained

And to be fraught

With worry and fear

That’s all there seems

While all they do

Is enact their schemes

But something is

So far amiss

We seem on the edge

Of a precipice

~

And it’s getting tense

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

They found a way

To control your thought

With what you watch

And what you’re taught

Created the system

In which we found

From birth to death

We are quite bound

Over decades

This all has spanned

Carefully moulded

Could even say planned

So many people

From the start just complied

Which only did help

Of their want to divide

And keep us apart

Turning friend into foe

Keeping it moving

So no-one would know

~

Just what it is that they really should fear

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

They want for us

No freedom or fun

Instead more a set up

Like that film Logans Run

Quite scarily similar

To V for Vendetta

Sometimes feels followed

Right down to the letter

Or what has happened

Feels more like invasion

Copied the plot

Of another, Contagion

It’s part of their plan

And dastardly tricks

For us all to be stuck

Within the Matrix

But for the sake of all

That is right and good

Instead of the gloom

We need Robin Hood

~

Right about now
