They Noise
They
Noise
Now the beast harangues,
In the chamber won.
And repression hangs,
And the people shunned.
Now the gavel bangs,
And the damage done:
Another right restricted,
For everyone.
Are you tired of the noise?
Our opinions thrown away
Like we’re broken toys,
We are no castaways.
Democracy is destroyed
A little day by day.
Are you tired of the noise?
Get out and have your say.
How the paid rat sings
The praises of criminality.
How readily would he bring
Heaving brutality.
Taking brutes ‘neath the wing,
To bring us to a finality
Of a barbarous king
And a rule of totality.
Democracy is destroyed
A little day by day.
Are you tired of the noise?
It’s time they heard our say.
Are you tired of the noise?
Our opinions thrown away
Like we’re broken toys -
We are no castaways.
