Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Dramatic Verse

Marked

Dr. Evil,
pacing back and forth in his laboratory,
had a vexing problem he was trying to solve
How to get the masses
to let corporate government
have complete control of their lives
Then came a thought from the dark side

Give them free access to all

Let their greedy little minds
be able to lust after all they see
Give them internet with content unfettered
Keep them chained to the screen,
to thwart their ability to not comply
Condition them to believe mind-control is better

No more free thought or free will divine

Herd them into sites
that will allow them to gorge with delight
on all of their most lewd and animalistic desires
Buy this, sell that
Indulge in banal, weird chit-chat
Every perversion of the mind is now hardwired

Let their imaginations run free

Then offer them a microchip
for a small fee and a snip
Oh they gladly will do all that you say
if you promise not to take away,
take away their virtual stimuli fix
Resistance purged, resistance nixed

Once they willingly go under the laser knife,
those poor bastards then will be marked for life
Once their freewill is willingly sacrificed,
yes, those lost souls will then be marked for life

Andrea Dietrich October 22, 2016 at 8:59 PM Freddie, I have heard this belief in a microchip of the future to be put inside us. I think you are alluding to that belief that is out there. I agree with Constance. It's very thought provoking. There is a lot to be pondered in your poem here. Sadly, we are all sheep in one way or another. I am a happy sheep. But for how long? Who knows? Thanks so much for your lovely comments to me and sorry I can't see more of your work. I am trying to catch up on three days of non commenting. OH MY! Freddie Robinson Jr. October 24, 2016 at 7:36 PM Ty, Andrea. Don't worry about reading and commenting on my work. You're a busy and popular poetess here at PSoup. Hit me up when you're able. Ty for the loving words though. Love you always. RW

Constance La France October 22, 2016 at 4:43 PM Freddie, lots of thought provoking lines in your poem, very raw with reality Freddie Robinson Jr. October 24, 2016 at 7:38 PM Ty, Broken Wings. I'm a message poet by trade. So I had to bring an issue that I'm strongly opposed to. Appreciate the kind words. Love and peace to you.

Maurice Yvonne October 22, 2016 at 4:40 PM This is an excellent write. Very intelligent and very well written. Add it to my favourites. Freddie Robinson Jr. October 24, 2016 at 7:38 PM Ty, Maurice. I do appreciate that support, my talented friend. Much love to you. RW

Alexis Y. October 22, 2016 at 10:59 AM Hi Freddie, What a interesting thought provoking write. It has a biblical undertone(the mark of the beast). I enjoyed the read:-)Alexis Freddie Robinson Jr. October 22, 2016 at 2:07 PM Ty, Alexis. You are spot on. You know your Holy Bible. It references the mark(ed) of the beast. I try to awaken people from their mental slumber. I must go and read some of your work. Ty for your comments. Much love to you from the RW (Romantic Warrior.)
