What a human endures

The weight we carry, upon our backs,

Those responsibilities, that continue to stack,

Every person you pass, along the street,

Burdened but unbroken, they stay on their feet,

The punishment that, a human endures,

Is the world right now, rotten to the core?

From the day we’re born, until the day we die,

Politicians greed, can be seen in their lies,

Look at Australia, it’s out of control,

Do you honestly think, this isn’t a global goal?

To take away our, liberties one by one,

These lunatics, have us now on the run,

But together we are, a force to be counted,

And already defence, has surely been mounted,

Non compliance is just, how we can all start,

For this we will need, brave and bold hearts,

We are the people, all colours and creeds,

Against the few, who are consumed with greed,

We stand all united, one world now together,

This moment in history, will be remembered forever,

For what we do next, it’s the future at stake,

And it now comes down, to the next action we take!

— Alan Firmin
