Dec 2020
Carolers sing by a well-lit lantern, snowflakes flutter and float to the ground.
Decorated homes twinkle in the backdrop, the scene is loud without making a sound.
But this isn’t real, it’s the front of a card, sent to bring someone good cheer.
Restaurants are closed and businesses shut, abnormal for this time of year.
Streets are empty there are no social gatherings, people are confined and scared.
Curfews restrict normal socializing, as the latest set of rules are being aired.
Oh yes this is real, and it’s ******* us all, except those, where the rules don't apply.
Just do as I say, don't do as I do, seems to be the political war cry.
News is read by a liar as you watch by the fire to the new propaganda, they spread.
Vast numbers they've saved, it’s not relevant they say, focus on the number of dead.
Abolishing the law seems to be the last straw, it is time for us all to fight back.
So, they plan to disarm us, and negate all our rights, so we cannot repel their attack.
At the death of a nation, they laugh in celebration, our history rejected and destroyed.
Not allowed to ask and you must wear a mask, stay calm you cannot get annoyed.
Good tidings we send in the hope there's an end to the nightmare we currently endure.
Rely on your faith, pray for your God's grace, for His word will be final, I’m sure.
