i am not Anonymous
i do not wear a mask
perhaps it is a fool’s game i play
but i am tired
it was easy to believe the lies
when i had the eyes of a Lamb
it was easy to stand up for God & Country
but now i see it’s all a sham
lying awake at nights
i realize how badly i’ve been taken
by the very system that i grew up to trust
i can deal with being played the Fool
i can turn the other cheek
but it is not me alone that has been taken
i have friends
i have neighbors
neighbors that i do not know
and it wasn’t like this
it wasn’t like this when i began
and i cannot close my eyes
or wear a mask
