the promised land

Giving encouragement
Feeding with food to survive
The little birdies will do the bidding
Of the adult birds to fly

When we think of humans
Of wealth and power will smile
The mind thinks of the devious ways
To lock up any one who protests

Promising land of grandeur
The adult birds keep whispering constantly
The little birds all lapping up
Flapping wings eager to fly

When a government keep harping half truths
Spinning it in Parliament and in dialogues
Repeating it so often to make it believable
When people ask for details, there is none to tell
The believable scenes slowly become dark spaces
Of the elites wanting to close the gaps

Now the little birds stay
In the bird cage bought for $25
Studying them for hours
Of what lessons witness
It can apply to humans

Constantly whispering
Encouraging with food to entice
Showing the way to freedom
Of power and wealth in the open
The little birdies flapping wings
Hopping mad to get free

For humans lies and cheats
Promising of grandeur and wealth
Instilling it in the mind
There is nothing wrong
To take what is in the land
