Heads Are Rolling


 
I'm taken back to days of old
when people were publicly beheaded
or burned alive
for being a heretic
& fear was instilled  
into the hearts of the masses
as it is on this day
 
if freedom in what you believe in is not tolerated
then what we have left
is a Hitler regime  
where you dare not stand apart
 
the heads are rolling
& tossed into the ocean
bobbing about in the reef
there's in blood in the water
the sharks are getting fat
 
I feel ill at ease
careful to watch my step
lest my head be the next on a stake  
outside the castle gates
