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

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!

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

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.

Hi Freddie, What a interesting thought provoking write. It has a biblical undertone(the mark of the beast). I enjoyed the read:-)Alexis

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.)
