Long and loud is professed the freedoms of Democracy;
Yet those whom challenge to demonstrate with verbosity,
Bare the real truth to this constitutional hypocrisy.
While those whom have gained electoral powers
Confront public anger from safety of legislative towers;
Brutal force disperses the anger with rubber-bullets and tear-gas showers
Institutional elite and corporations direct the political and judicial show;
To defy this pervasive condition or attempt chance to over-throw
Is recipe for wrongful imprisonment or, death as some have come to know.
Few brave souls have risen to confront the foundations of Establishment;
The likes of Assange, Manning, Snowdon now relegated to hidden confinement;
Smeared by complicit mainstream media’s negative embellishment.
The Western World has long been the breeding ground for a Police State;
General public apathy and ignorance allowing the condition to infiltrate;
Now metastasized beyond ability to reverse and mitigate.
Failure to acknowledge, to confront the direness to this state of reality
Is to relegate future generations to the conditions veracity;
Relegating freedom’s voice forever, to the state of banality.
