Have you ever been tricked, into something for power?
Have you ever been stuck, in the quite early hours?
Have you ever been trapped, into something quite new,
That might have been good but no one quite knew?
Have you ever been trapped by a power hungry pig?
Have you ever been lied to, and felt like a twig?
Have you ever been tricked or been tripped or been trapped?
Have you been weighed down by pressure, until you have snapped?
Have things in your life and your community,
Been messed up and confusing, messy, not clean.
Have rules been changed and exceptions been made.
Have you stood up for yourself? Or have you been too afraid.
Have you ever wanted something to change?
But felt, that you, were quite out of range?
You felt that you could not make a stand,
And lay out your brilliant master plan.
Now is the time to say that opinion!
You wont regret it! You won't be wishin',
That you would have said something when you had the chance,
But now its too late, say the chains on your hands.
Wow. That's powerful.
