Pushed aside, out of cultural view,
Far too many ways to be ostracized.
Redemption and truth, null and void,
And harshly criticized.
I’ll say no more than this on free speech:
That darkness thrives in the shadows of night,
And the only end for darkness,
Is exposure to Light.

I oft’ dream of three stars united:
A pyramid-cluster,…far away,…
Sparkling and swirling light projected,
In aged-realms which sway,…
My soul to tears.
Such beauty,…it can not be explained,
With words of practical human minds.
The feeling of awe, deeply engrained,…
On the soul, which pines,…
To return home.
Yes, some things, they are not logical,
For we are made of both man and soul.
Man seeks to eat ’til listless and full.
Soul seeks to be whole,…
And connected.
Those galactic stars,…they speak to me,
In a language beyond form or view,
And my soul answers with silent glee.
I am bright and new!
For I am free!
I am free!
I am free!

We live in a time when everyone talks, yet no one listens.
Where experience lies unappreciated,
And the most vital thoughts rejected,…
As the most trivial are collected,
To societies’ detriment.
How did we find ourselves here in this dystopian nightmare?
Where truth’s owned and controlled by the highest bidder,
Who muzzles and shackles the poor,…
While distracting, ties them down more and more,
‘Til not only are their bodies not free,
They aren’t free to think anymore.

Two by two, with hands of blue,
The Covid Nazis are after you.
They will not stop. They do not care.
They monitor you everywhere.
They tell you what to think and do.
They harm, and say it’s all for you.
They want us all to stay inside,
‘Til prison’s where’er we reside.
They want you to be so confused,
You can not see you’re being used.
Two by two, with hands of blue,
The Covid Nazis are after you.
So, stay inside. Sleep away,
Until you wake again someday,
To find you can not recognize,
Any truth in all the lies;
And find it is too late to stop,
The corruption from the very top.
What will you do when two by two,
They turn and then come after you?
It will be too late for you to say,
“I wish I hadn’t given it away,…
My freedoms and my personal choice,
For now I do not have a voice.
And now when they come two by two,
And grab me with their hands of blue,
I’ll be one of those people too,
Who cry, “Dear God, what should I do?
Why did I hand my humanity away?
Now I’m a slave, and merely prey!””
One day they will come after you.
Believe me, for they always do.
Do not make men lords of you,
Or they’ll come with their hands of blue…
Two by two by two by two,…
By two by two by two.
