The Warning Bells Are Ringing

"Close your eyes"
they put their fingers across my eyes,
"Its not there if you can't see it." 
they whisper in my ears.


"Hush now don't say that
they say as they slowly part my lips,
"You don't need that anymore"
I hear the sound of their scissors snipping.


Snip snip

My tongue is gone.

I flail around helplessly,
They can't do this to everyone,


Someone will see,
Someone will speak,


But wait, can they?

This is wrong, this is unfair.

The warning Bells are ringing, loud and clear.

The warning Bells are ringing, can't they hear?

Everything will fall apart.

The kingdom they are building,
with the fragile bricks of perfection 
and the cement of their propaganda,
Won't last long in the storm that is brewing.


The warning bells are ringing, loud and clear.

The warning bells are ringing, can't they hear?
