The Liars are singing Freedom Songs Again
They are singing those songs again,
Resurrecting lyrics for almost forgotten days.
On the radio, in links on facebook, whatsapp and elsewhere.
Songs from my generation, songs that I once sang too.
Ranting about oppression and betrayal as if they are new.
The only thing that has changed is that now you feel the pain too.
Where were you when I needed help and so few showed care?
Definitely not among the friends who numbered so few.
Definitely not among those who helped in so many ways.
Definitely not among those who eased the pain.
