Thoughts Held Captive

Thoughts Held Captive They tell us what to think Teaching us what they want us to know Continuous repetition of their ideas Lies are their truths Their truths are made to sound like lies Billions of people with their only thoughts Never thinking on their own They have no idea who we are Yet they have influence over our lives You must do only as they say Talk about things they do not find offensive Think only their thoughts They say we should never ask questions Accept everything they say If one person rebelled If only one question was asked They would fail to control us Their power would fade into the dust But billions of people would feel freedom For once in their lives they could think They would become human
