Illusional Freedoms

ILLUSIONARY FREEDOMS by JOHN M. ARRIBAS I weep for my children and yours as well Not savoring the freedoms I knew so well They’ll be alright absent the thrill Of taking an action due to their will Taking personal positions will be the unheard As all of us numbers will be part of the herd You won’t be a man or a woman just a being Lost in a queue not allowed thinking or seeing You won’t need a name a number will do Turn in your form and get back into the queue Entertainment provided there’s no need to exert Needing assistance “THEY” will provide an expert Individual thoughts will be dangerous stances Insurmountable obstacles to any advances Nutrients engineered to provide what you need With added ingredients to assist your recede Clothing is optional,”THEY” have an approved store Everything is free who could want anything more And who is this generous “THEY” that we refer to It’s the fraternal, compassionate, organic, menacing, intimidatory government hovering over you
