Better one day as a tiger
Than a hundred years as a sheep;
A promise I made myself
That I try keep.
True to myself,
Not following the crowd;
An independence of thought,
Of which I am proud.
Our freedom of speech
Is under attack,
Our own fault really,
Reflects the courage we lack.
Hard earned freedoms
Simply being taken away,
Be careful what you think,
Be careful what you say.
From history we should learn,
But not any more;
The lessons of history
We choose to ignore.
Less well informed,
But with more information,
There’s no power in knowledge
For this generation.
I’m probably being targeted
In my dragon slayer’s role;
Not conforming to the narrative,
Not under control.
With my freedom of speech
Not politically corrected,
On the governments radar
I’ll soon be detected.
They might try to isolate me
For the things that I write,
But I won’t be intimidated,
I won’t give up my fight.
Not an activist really,
Just exercising free thought,
In mainstream media’s web
I refuse to be caught.
Say what they want to hear,
Don’t dare speak the truth,
Don’t argue their reasoning,
Don’t dare ask for proof.
Free thought and opinions
A threat to the nation.
Oh! How ever did we end up
In this situation?
