Gone is Gone… Now is NOW!

Gone,

Are the innocent dreams of childhood

Absent

Are the questioning eyes of youth

Deceased

Are the stories of our aged

Removed

Are individual opinions

Withdrawn

Are our freedoms to think and feel

Missing

Is the respect of healthy debate

Vanished

Is the ability to buy and own

Erased

Is the trust we once held

Dissolved

Is the peace of daily living

Disappeared

Is the thick skin to laugh at ourselves

No more

Are our rights to… anything

Extinct

Is the age common sense

…Instead…

Now

We are told what to think

Now

We are shown what to accept

Now

We are trained to embrace all

Now

We are disciplined what to speak

Now

We are called bigots

Now

We protest everything

Now

We have a thousand genders

Now

We are forced into silence

Now

It’s always the race card

Now

We are apathetic - we gave away control

Now

We are censored

Now

War is coming

Now

We are sheep

Now

Our history is changed

Now

Where is God? Ugh! God is all things

Now

Are the Last Days
