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 Written for Poetry Contest:"Fear Is Liar" Sponsored by: Sotto Poet 01/17/2023 AWARDED 1ST PLACE IN CONTEST
