\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Poor Choices, Lack Of Voices<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There was a way before the fall.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If there was any way at all.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a time. There was a choice.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A time back when you had a voice.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You could choose right. It was allowed.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Many did. They had avowed.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Others didn\u2019t. They still complain.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They thought life was such a pain.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They wanted more but, they got less.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There was no way they felt blessed.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They are not sorry for their choice.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They felt they, then, had a voice.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet, the results are totally wrong.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Seems they waited way too long.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now they are ruled with an iron hand.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no freedom in the land.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, no matter what choice you make,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It will be a big mistake.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The government has total control.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They say what to do and where to go.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You no longer have a will.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You are so mad, you could kill.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Actually, you have nothing at all.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, you were the one who made that call.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, there is little but, feeling blue.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The big \u201cS\u201d will tell you what to do.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
