FREEDOM OF YOUTH

WHO'S WATCHING

From a very young age we play follow the leader,
never questioning the hand of the feeder,
we play hide and seek and learn about deceit,
never questioning the deeds that we so freely reap.

We're delivered into the hands of the peers,
from a distance being watched by the seers,
societies and cults are always looking around,
to harvest from the youth those that go to ground.

We do naughty things then hide it away,
think it's a joke to lie in the day,
it soon becomes a habit that with us stay,
stealing our truth as we fall to decay.

Later in life we fall into slavery,
as exposure and shame steals all our bravery,
we lose all control as the evil rules,
turning our lives into misery and blues.
