In A Former Republic

I’ve heard the rhetoric that comes with the dogma.
How you can bow and do as they’ve told ya.
But that isn’t peace or freedom to me.
Sounds more like oppression times by three.
And its the same no matter where you go.
Galaxy wide this empires a shitshow!

Troopers patrol with their weapons in hand.
Ready to dispel justice where innocents stand.
Yet so many think that this is the way.
Looks more like tyranny if you were to ask me.
Nobody does cause they are all too afraid.
Worried a visit will see their family slayed!

From a world with twin suns to a city wide planet.
What looms over head is not our true senate.
Peace was replaced by threats to conform.
Most of the time you’ll wish you’d never been born.
As propaganda drones everywhere that you go.
Demanding allegiance to a man we don’t know!

We are victims by choice and our cowardice.
If freedom was missed then we would rise against this.
But safety and security has become our shield.
Even if they are fallacy that isn’t ideal.
For utter dominance and power is said to be what surrounds.
Step out of line and those destroyer cannons soon sound!
