Do We?

Is the world awaiting change?

Changes of Perception

Do we?

Do we believe all that is told, as politician’s lies they unfold?

Do we believe in all of the news, when it can push propaganda and terrible wrong views?

Do we understand all that is said, or does the truth, ‘so called,’ lay doubt in your head?

Do we understand, that views they can change, to suit the pockets of those that can gain?

Do we understand our minds are diverted, as the course of our justice becomes deserted?

Do we lack our own points of view, as with difference of opinion, trouble ensues?

Do we realize what really goes on, when the speech of few becomes a well-known song?

Do we not see sense of it all, money we earn is a tax hoard?

Do we realize, we are controlled? Are we always destined to do what we're told?

Do we understand that we have a voice, but our silence is muted by peer pressure choice?

You do? Then for all that is said, if our minds they awaken, it fills some with dread.

So why do you not stand? Why do you not say? Why do you allow it to continue from day to day?

We must appreciate that we can make a stand, the masses outweigh the few, let us walk hand in hand.
