We are the pawns
the sacrificial Lambs
Going to the slaughter
all your sons and daughters
The game that’s played
would waste us all away
Leaving all in their wake
from the leaders that are fake
So from history do we fade
whilst they are financially made
In history books they sit with smiles
we, the people forgotten and reviled
Used, abused, pushed are we
democracy we’re in, but never free
We work, pay taxes, do as we’re told
laws bind us, open prisons in hold
Lennon sang about Imagining
he had a way of thinking
But just a dream he did have
we’ll never be free from the mad
Unless we make a stand
and no more feel the teachers hand
Scream no more! Enough!
before more is spilled than blood

Reminds of the quote “better to die on your feet than live on your knees” (or along those lines). I think your “call to arms” is well written and perhaps it is time we did truly open our eyes …

Thank-you again. Yes, We should do something but only with words and maybe other means but not with violence at any cost or we shall be as bad as others in this world.
