CHERRY
1
I once knew a child called Cherry
Her eyes shone bright like the sun
Her big broad smile lifted our hearts
Cherry was a bundle of fun.
Oh, what a bundle of fun!
2
Those were happy days, but I moved on
Went to Uni, got a degree,
Learned some new ways of seeing
How to see what we rarely see
The world is not what it seems…

3
I learned how male domination
Permeates all communication
Because of media manipulation
By the powers that be
4
Big Tech Big Pharma corruption
Protected from prosecution
Literally get away with murder
The ways of the powers that be
5
Military corporations
The World Health Organisation
World Bank, United Nations
Puppets of the powers that be

~ Bridge
The narrative’s dictated by the powers that be
It’s for their own benefit, not you or me
But your heart has a story. . and it will set you free

6
The powers that be have lost it
Something their money cannot buy
They want it but never feel it
The joy of a sweet little child
Feel joy like a little child
7
Feeling joy like a little child
In the moment, bathing in bliss
Feeling peace, hope and contentment
What could be better than this?
Nothing is better than this
8
I’ve recently seen Cherry again
I’d forgotten but she knew me
Thirty years and still knew my name
Remembered how things used to be
A beautiful memory!
9
There’s a young mother called Cherry
Her eyes shine bright like the sun
Her big broad smile lifted my heart
Cherry’s still a bundle of fun
Oh, what a bundle of fun!
