when is the last time?


When is the last time I remember?

What it was like without that freedom

Would “they” take “their” right without reason?

Or is maybe they who committed that treason?

But soon that freedom will turn into prison.

When is the last time I remember?

About the day I saw those people?

Who everybody treated as equal

I thought that I will see them during the sequel

But I only get to see them in the prequel   

 As “they” have plan to get rid of “those people”

When is the last time I remember?

In a world where people stand for what is right?

Where protest could go until night

Where voices would yell with all of their might?

All over the world there are silent, oppressed people

Too scared to protest

Too scared to stand up for themselves

And their families

Too controlled by their own governments

Even if they were free

Their wings of flight

Would be broken off

By a leader’s mean might

And what an unsightly sight

That fills everyone with fright

 Will I ever get that freedom?

Will “they” ever get that freedom?

Or is there only suffering?

Who know? But I know that in the future there is comforting
