People will fight for freedom for all
When it is their freedom they believe is under attack.
You can’t say anything anymore, they say.
A spade is a spade is a spade, they say.
And they go with their placards and banners -
Like heads on sticks
Let us out, they shout.
I watch this from home, on the telly,
And they say, people are still dying.
But I can’t hear this. All I hear is
Let us out. Let us out. Let us out.
They say it is their choice to wear a mask,
Or not.
They say this has been going on too long.
Enough is enough, they say.
People are dying, I say.
They imagine a future the same as the past
I imagine a future that knows the past.
They can’t hear me through their marching
And chanting -
A spade is a spade is a spade.
