Slaves To Our Doctrine
Slaves to our Doctrine
Category: Writing and Poetry
Slaves to our Doctrine, we comply heads bowed
voices are muted, complacent but cowed
This 'Ism is ours, we defend it so blindly
not seeing through disasters occurred so timely
Hateful fervor fueled by fear
Evil greed snuck through smoke and mirror
Slaves to our Doctrine, waving flag high...
Socialists burn! Communists die!
Pacifists lack patriotism when asking why?
We fight only for a bigger piece of the Pie
Slaves to our Doctrine, but see how it works for us?
Ants march in line, complacency masks cowardice!
So long as simple wants are in seeming plenty...
Our questions are few, if there are any...
Watching TV and eating what's fed
Not realizing we are the means to an end...
Profit for those who pull on the reigns
Laughing at all of us doctrine slaves--
"They sing OUR song, thinking they're free"!!
"Happily dragging chains they can't even see"!!
"Lets fill their heads with monsters to fight until the end"
"They'll fixate to fight--its always US vs.Them"!!
.....dragging chains we can't even see.
