'Dartmoor still life' by Sean Bw Parker
The Wizard
My door is open if you forgot about the lock
I am not late if you ignore the clock
My world is like if you forgot about the weight
My life is happy if you ignore the hate
I’m driving fast if you forgot about the slow
I’m climbing high if you ignore the low
It’s not drowning if you forget about the water
I was there, if you ignore the data
If you use every trick up your wizard-like sleeves
If you silence the contrary and bring justice to its knees
You can get what you want – a conviction no matter what
But you’ll be abandoning the principles for which many have fought
I will not describe the harm you have done
It’s far more than could be caused by a sword or a gun
You’ve ruined countless lives for the sake of…what?
An agenda? An ego? Well I know what it’s not
It’s not the truth, it’s not right
It’s not ethical, it’s maybe spite
It’s the perpetuation of a moral panic
All you’ve achieved is to make it more manic
Not A Number
