Libertas
(A lone voice whispers)
Some say to be free
And avoid being played
By anyone or anything
Consumed and discarded like a cheap bottle of lemonade
By the charge of those drinking warm bottles of Kool-Aid
From their brown bag of tricks
You have to open your eyes real wide to see
To try to see what they plan and say in the shade
To see what they really know and places they go
To hear the true sounds of the bells they ring
And in that moment
As you watch with bright eyes aglow
To hear what songs they sing
As their record plays
You will know where their loyalties lay
And know
If you're being played or betrayed
By those dark souls
Who hide
Like members of The Lost Crusade
Amongst the dark shadows of humanities deadly nightshade
Called politics
