It seem a bit strange, but the world had died!
Or so it seemed to my untrained eye,
As good will and reason, seem to have resigned.

I’m not sure, what changed in this great country of ours.
I feel a bit’s to blame on, the political powers.
The way they have twisted and turned every screw.
Too make sure they can easily, yes easily screw YOU!

The system is warped, and has been hijacked.
By peoples and faction and other like that.
They have loud voices and most, nay to do.
And strangely enough, they’re in charge of me and you!

So, speak up loud and speak up strong!
Make you voice heard, above the massed throng.
Speak for truth, freedom for all.
Same rights that’s for me, are for you, urban sprawl.

Speak from your heart but please, before you do.
Sit down in a place quiet, and ask you heart to review.
Review what you’ve heard, and Review what you’ve read,
Then ask you heart this, is it true what’s being said?

You heart will tell you, if your pledge is to hear,
Listen to the one you hold so dear.
because I know inherently, Its in one and all,
goodness, truth and honour so, don’t be appalled!

Be proud to care, and proud to love,
But above all, be proud of yourself,
You thoughts and your care,
you never thought you’d dare,

But now you have let them run free.
Now you can see
what needs to be,
that’s love for all, not just who you see!
