Will it ever stop?
Will it ever end?
All these broken promises
Repeating cycles,
This back and forth pattern
Hurts a lot of people’s heads
One minute
It is trusting science
But turn around
Recalling everything back
How can we blame the mistrust from the community?
When these experts keep bumping their heads
Division continues to grow
Families and friends turn on each other.
Everyday the fear is forced
Everyday patience continues to get smaller
More and more
Mental exhaustion
Causing agitation and restless nights
Constant media brainwashing
Stressing the sense of sight
With all the screen time
From day till night
When will it end?
When will it stop?
Feels like it is the tipping point
To eliminate compassion
And free will to choose
What we want.
Blood spills to prices rising
And sneaky bills through the House
That the politicians are passing
Chaotic world
Chaotic country
The freedom to protest
Gets red-flagged as an attack
And labelled as a threat to public safety
Just another propaganda
History repeating.
When will it stop?
When will it end?
How many times of being stripped away
Before the people realize the real issues
Hiding in our society,
Would that time be too late?
