The Definition of Insanity Continued

(Part Two)

Each following generation, almost inevitably, are stuck in the same cycle.
Centuries enslaved, the product of a totalitarian government.
Delivering an impeccable system of social mind control.
succeeding almost flawless in their subliminal and cruel tactics.
Mankind the perfect subject for an unchallenged subjugation and control.
At least Hitler was clear with his plans for Germany and its people.
Our modern government deals in deception and complete lies.

Each year, they deliver millions of new perfectly trained slaves.
Trained in, and put to work doing minor and mindless tasks.
The objective to distract their minds long enough to avoid questioning.
Working them around the clock, almost straight through every year of life
allowing two weeks of vacation, for a year of unquestioned servitude
long enough to placate their desires, but too short to expose real freedom.
anything longer might risk exposing the truth hidden behind a blanket of lies
If they knew the true joy of life, an uprising would undoubtedly ensue.

So who is truly deranged, the individual described as "Psychotic?"
For choosing to express his identity, and denying to conform.
Taking the time to actually enjoy his life, and exercise his freedom
Or, the "normal" members of society, our governments good little drones.
Dying in our governments wars, fought to gain more wealth and control
Working and wasting their entire lives for the benefit of a rich few

The only real question that remains is: Who do you serve?
