Back to banning books - placing limits and restrictions on voting rights - seeking to divide and conquer - denying the truth… Sensing a Trend?
SENSING A TREND
Open the doors - at the local library
Reveal the truth - no matter how contrary
The past should be written - as an honest hist’ry
Not sugar coated - remaining a myst’ry
Read facts not fiction - draw your own conclusions
Don’t let mass media - create grand illusions
Money and power - want to muzzle truth sayers
And bury the truth - under multiple layers
If you’re sensing a trend - then you’re paying attention
They rely upon - our lack of retention
We can’t let this happen - so by hook or by crook
Replace that ‘Elf on the Shelf’ - with the latest banned book
Lawmakers flying - in the face of all reason
Ignore our Constitution - bordering on treason
Controlling minds - propaganda and suppression
Rewriting the facts - then all means of expression
Dazzle us with bull squat - using smoke and mirrors
So authoritarian - nothing could be clearer
Fahr’nheit 4 5 1 - warned Ray Bradbury
Can’t become the present - and must never come to be
If you’re sensing a trend - then you’re paying attention
They rely upon - our lack of retention
We can’t let this happen - so by hook or by crook
Replace that ‘Elf on the Shelf’ - with the latest banned book
READ THE LATEST BANNED BOOK…
