Not Enough Life Rafts

It’s two in the morning and I can’t sleep

The slippery slope of life is too steep

The turmoil they create I’m in it knee deep

I can’t live among these blindfolded sheep,

Existing in the deserted bad lands of delusion

Where our own government feeds us illusions

The rulers thrive on spawning confusion

Watch out my friend you could get a contusion,

Watching life pass me by

Watching others swallowing the “Big Lie”

Wasting my time wondering what happened to you and I

Way past the urge anymore to cry,

Life is continual punishment for those who are true

Time to abandon ship alert the crew

Only enough life rafts to save a few

There’s too many of us who haven’t got a clue,

Too many people who are becoming unstable

Needing to become better informed but they’re unable

They’d rather get angry when logic and reason are on the table

The lynch mob who hung an innocent man from the gables,

I came to you with an open heart gullible and unwise

You were but another victim who had learned to victimize

Like a well-trained pet begging for the prize

All I could see was deceit and anger in your eyes,

Two in the morning and sleep evades me

It seems that life won’t hear my plea

Answers are few and only to a certain degree

The fools who can’t even identify the true enemy.
