Guilt Trip

Slowly but steadily the feet start to move towards the gate
Heavy and drugged all the memories start to fade,

The warning signs are a joke and they tell us only what we already know
What we demand is not answers but actions taken pronto,

Fearsome and ruthless is what everybody desires to be
None of us are qualified enough to set you free,

Those ears aren’t deaf and nor is justice blind
But money rules the roost here doesn’t matter if it’s yours, his or mine,

Doubtful as it may seem that I will ever see colour
I am still very sure that I’ll be a good sailor,

Wafting away on the ocean I may reach a point of no return
No regrets for the towns seen and no fears that concern,

Times changed, persons changed and so did you, Alas!
What remained constant were the play and its cast,

Just one thing is all I would ask for if I had to plead ever
Understand that all you need to live is not simply love but a mind equally clever.
