In the blink of an eye

Is it as hopeless as predicted,

is there still hope, as some say there is,

is there a solution to the conflicts that dwell

in each of our hearts and minds?

Will the villain be successor,

will this be the end of all good,

have we really all forgotten what it’s like to be free

of the fears and threats thrown at us every day?

How did we get to be so programmed

to acquiesce no matter the bullshit served to us,

I am shocked to stupefaction,

I am mortified at my own response,

I am stunned by the deceptions,

the devious methods and intricate networks

created for our convenience and pleasure

now turned Warden on its prisoners,

taken, our self, our courage, our belief between right and wrong,

we have been hammered and attacked at every point, they grasp our every weakness

and they are one step away from flicking the switch and we will be imprisoned,

in both body and mind, am I the only one desperate to put a halt to this madness,

for heaven’s sake, please look and see!
