How can a year
Feel so long
The strangest one
That’s gone so wrong
Whatever plans
We thought we had
It started good
Then went to bad
So much delayed
And put on hold
Dreams and lives
Are now controlled
It’s hard to swallow
And really accept
The ones who lead us
Are blindly inept
And at their whim
Ourselves we find
While in this play
We’re all entwined
To whatever end

Never before
Did I see
That all of us
Collectively
Have been held down
Our lives disrupted
By the powers that be
Who are corrupted
It’s not for our safety
Or our health
But just to add
A little more wealth
To their growing
Money pot
Stripping the rest
They want the lot
By taking down
The average folk
I guess to them
We’re just a joke
For wanting a life
And security
To them we’re just
Opportunity
To offer us more debt…
Rhyme and Reason
(c) K Wicks
I’m not sure what
We can achieve
If there’s no way
To ever believe
What’s being said
And being done
It’s been a debacle
Now it’s begun
Breaking down
What once there was
To create a new
Just because
This is what
The powers that be
Have now set forth
As reality
Rhyme and Reason
(c) K Wicks
The normal fears
That we have faced
Have been rewritten
And replaced
That there are those
Elected through charm
Who actually mean
To cause us harm
If it was nature
Throwing the curve
We’d find our feet
And then observe
How we can group
And organize
But not when trapped
In all these lies
The mental threat
Looms ever near
While slowly taking
What we hold dear
Through all of this
I can but hope
We make it through
And manage to cope
It’s a strange road ahead…
Rhyme and Reason
(c) K Wicks
We go from here
The narrative set
Is a landscape of fear
Turned they have
The normal brain
To be taboo
To feel insane
For questioning
What should be fine
But instead
We walk the line
Of knowing not
Where this will go
Beholden to
The strangest show
Yet on we go
Because we must
No longer sure
If we can trust
Ourselves
Rhyme and Reason

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
(c) K Wicks
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
While they try
With tainted science
To push us all
To mass compliance
Some hold fast
To show defiance
Its now we need
The Rebel Alliance
(c) K Wicks
Rhyme and Reason
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?
