Poem
Brainwashed to think you’re free By men who think they know They lead you on and you follow While all you are is a devotee They think of you as a sheep in a flock While you follow on and hand your head You help them and their lies you spread While you’re no more than breeding stock They feed you myths and stupid lies And you believe whatever they say You’d believe them every day Even if they preach that a pig flies If you ever have any doubts About something that they proclaim They’d say you lost your faith and aim And that the devil through you shouts The only freedom you possess Is not in the life you so far led It is all there in your head It’s what they ask you to repress You were given a mind to use Not so that you’d follow blind But so that the truth you find And you escape their evil ruse A human’s truth is his alone For no two men are just the same They may share common blood and name But their mind is their sacred zone When you surrender your reason To these men of greed and lust You’ve condemned your mind to rust Against yourself, that’s high treason So wake up man and get your life back You only have one, don’t give it away There is no price you have to pay To these swindlers in white or black
