The Innocent Criminal

Infinite fields of the mind Mowed down For what is natural Is now a fictional story That free thought? Probably Behind those bars Or under house arrest The free mind Coerced into submission External forces Wiping the colour Gods of a black and white universe Gradual decay Of the child’s smile And the innocent euphoria The present Is the future we talked about The reflections in the mirror Are robots From the sci-fi movies Soul is caged While the body roams Roams under submission Eternal war Bulls and the bullied fight Feverish soul Do not doubt Walk on the road Do not look beyond If you want to live long Shh.. They’re listening They are listening
