.censor the senseless.

stepping to this microphone
to recite words, my own
sewn, down, deep
drowning, screaming
my freedom
my kingdom
my children,
born as slaves,
invisible chains,
borderless boundaries,
unearthing false dreams
of material necessities,
a tragedy
to the masses.

big businesses buying
independent dreams
another means to filter
the intake of individuality
because what they want is
for you to see
only what they show you.

refilling the life water
filtered to your brain
from the box of reality shows
that show no reality
but what’s been approved by a
committee of neckties.

we have been born sold,
brainwashed since birth,
captive cows,
mooing at liberty,
when reality knows
we have no freedom
but in the confines
of our own minds.
