Ocean of Truth

Ocean of Truth

You were there, you saw it all

With eyes that would not see.

You heard the whispers growing loud

So you turned up the BBC

Your gut, it screamed a warning

But you’d grown so disconnected

That the only message you received

Was how not to get infected.

You stood upon the shoreline

As an ocean of truth lapped your feet

But you couldn’t risk saturation

So you chose to step back and retreat.

Your mind filled with questions unanswered

But the fog of fear filled up the void

Obscuring from view the most glaring of truths

That your freedom was being destroyed

Our hearts strive for love and compassion

So they find it so hard to believe

Why those who claim to protect us

Would instead, choose to harm and deceive.

And the loop it continues unfettered

Returning to where it began

There must be good reason for current events

There’s no way that this could be a scam.

Is it easier to blame those who doubt this?

Who’ve tore through this sin and illusion?

Those journeys are painful and torrid

But they end in one certain conclusion

The world you believed that you lived in

Is nothing like you had perceived

Will you choose to shoot the messenger?

With no stake in a world filled with greed.

And our history teaches a lesson

That the virtue of ‘do as your told’

Has paved way for so much human suffering

That your duty is now to be bold

Remember your personal sovereignty

It’s served you so well through the years

Don’t let yesterday’s wrongs become today’s rights

Seek the truth and push through your fears.

We are many when we stand together

Same hopes and same dreams for our young

When we realise we share the same mission

Then our time will finally have come.
