Poem Title:
Poem
For fifteen years I’ve watched the world, Seen the flags of ‘we’ versus ‘them’ unfurled, I may be young, but don’t you underestimate, The potential I have to overcome, and to dominate. It seems the powers that be are perturbed, Their once firm grip on society is disturbed, For what they miscalculated, or failed to see, Is that overbearing control does not earn loyalty. So despite all the censors, the rules, and the lies, The chaos is growing right before our eyes, Though we paid for ‘security’ with voluntary cuffs, There will come a time when the people have enough. When shit hits the fan, what would you prefer? To get information from the source, or use the media to infer? To infer the truth about the goings-on around you, To know before things happen, and understand the ‘why’ too? We’re now at a crossroad, a difficult decision, One road is normality, the other is broadening my vision, I can live out my life and fulfill normal goals; I can change my direction and be at the controls. And though neither is right and neither is wrong, The question remains, how would you carry along? Each option results in its own implications, The effects of this choice could be seen for generations. Although I am still pondering what I should do, This crossroad will also pan out before you. And so, choose wisely which path you will seek, But commit to it fully, this choice is unique.
