Brian Davey Poet Rhyme

Living In Silent Fear

The absent minded, the fools, the liars
    Filtering all things of what we're fed
      Tortured without sense behind desks conspired
        Checks are bouncing off the chest of the dead

        Thoughts are no longer your own to think
      Placed by weapons using silent electronics
    The edge where everyone stands on the brink
  Looking down, eyes vacant, mind hypnotic

  Control is the aim of what's controllable
    Those who stand against are delivered their fate
      Pawns being misled like cattle it's horrible
        To feed Queen Bee and her totalitarian state

        Blind those follow not living their own lives
      Carrying out deeds masked by puppet strings
    Just another worker bee in the Queens hives
  Struggling to carry the load on broken wings
