Free Thinking

FREE THINKING

I learned something awhile ago
called mind manipulation
As long as you're among the clones
you are part of the stagnation

Anything they say "fair game"
they set the rules of life
Nothing that you say or do
is considered causing strife

They work your mind both day and night
and everything's called true
They cannot let you think alone
for then "you", become "you"

Free thinking, now you're on your own
the truth comes seeping out
And there are no more rehearsed lines
like millions, you have clout

It's actually very good to know
the way things really work
Not afraid to speak your mind
and know it's not a quirk

You don't put thoughts in peoples heads
just let them see what's free
And then they know the path they choose
is theirs, eternally.....
