To a Promised land that can never exist


We can see clearly, now...

Shall we walk in this maze of polished glass
Where our path ahead we can see
But the way is blocked by a solid pane
Will we ever again be free?

Perhaps we will find us an open gate
And we will see the way to go
Or will it be an illusion we cannot break
That is something we need to know

Like the blind leading the blind
Follow me, or, I'll follow you
And we will find our lost utopia
Before the day is surely through

Then the voice comes down from Capitol Hill
It says there is nothing to fear but fear
There are no fascists we know that rule
Just simple Autocracy up here

And the crowds applaud and praise is sung
For the promises that could cause us war
In this new world of smoke and mirrors
His magic we will learn to abhor

I love the title! I love the poem. A little complex but I like reading between the lines. On a personal note, I can already abhor. 'Tis true that actions speak louder than words, but as his words can't be believed I believe (!) the actions will surely follow the same dark path. Blessings, Allen
