A Moment Of Choice

A Moment Of Choice

A poem by Michael Joseph Farrelly

Just how low will they stoop
Their front is so brazen
A parrot faced loop
Servile to no nation

With pockets so deep
Your hope bought by rogues
All 30 piece creep
With polished brown brogues

This globalised franchise
Speak of a new world
Through rose tinted eyes
Fake freedom's unfurled

Yeah, you've sewn in your hope
Your life, love and luck
Like a sad movie trope
That breaks hearts by the buck

You think your vote hurts them
They don't care either way
Your tick can't condemn
Your voice not in play

Why words noose your throat
For dreams of loved care
Most wisdom of note
Will croak in their snare

Tread your eggshells with poise
For costume dressed meaning
Through shields of walled noise
To where this world's leaning

Yet a moment is here
It's a moment of choice
It's a choice that strikes fear
If you refind your voice

So turn up the volume
Let's hear what you say
You'll ramp up their gloom
When say No to their way

Say No to their wars
Say No to compliance
Say No to skewed laws
Say No to fake science

Time to pin on your hope
Your life, love and luck
Where they cannot cope
When you don't give a fuck
