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

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 – 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

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

(c) K Wicks

They want us lost…(poetry)

They want us lost

And feeling alone

You’re a smaller threat

If on your own

And in these dark

And uncertain days

There seems no end

Like trapped in a maze

But something is up

That we can feel

What’s being said

Just doesn’t seem real

Nothing to see

With only their word

The lie is so twisted

It got too absurd

But now a lifestyle

It’s gone on so long

There won’t be much left

If we can’t just get on

Time is slipping away…

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

In this new world… (poetry)

In this new world

Which is quite strange

You’ll need to adjust

And rearrange

The way you thought

Or what you knew

It’s no longer clear

Just what is true

There seems to be

An agenda at play

Rolling out

More day by day

What came before

Now feels long past

What was once normal

Is changing fast

Rhyme and Reason

(c) K Wicks

Every day… (poetry)

Every day

They change the game

Moving the goalposts

Never the same

It’s really hard

To comprehend

Where this is going

And if it will end

What they have changed

Is the playing field

Pushing the people

Until they yield

With veiled bribes

Laced with threat

It does now seem

That this has been set

In motion and can’t be

Thwarted or slowed

We look like we’re headed

Down the long old road

To disaster

Rhyme and Reason
