watercolour rain

Grief

With boldness they turn on their own
Their own political freedoms now gone
Our own freedom has been used against us
As a silent majority swells from within
We can sing of love, but not of question
Corporations own us all... and what we need
Watching for years we cried for independence
Now we watch in vanish in our own greed
But life continues in the watercolour rain
Washing out all the details
Slowly and methodically
Blending them back into the background og grays
And in our silence we agree
To let them strip us blind because "we are free"
Others slowly turn their heads
To those... that thought they could see
A single man screams freedom
A crowd turns to see yet no loud sounds are heard,
Just the silence of turning heads of sheep
As the police drag him away
We vote the lessor of two evils
To save ourselves some face
A representation of us for the world to see
Someone who can make them belive freedom is still embraced
Is this who we are? ... Is this who we became??
Political asylum lost in Corporate gains
Slowly our baths get warmer
As all is lost in watercolour rain
