There Is No Free

There is no free There's just you and me There is no dream This world is not what it seems There is no true light For life we fight, fight, fight The basic code of man To consume all that he can There is no life Where a mind isn't free We dance to the beat Of the deafening silent screams We live in a world Where we refuse to see Our minds imprison our souls And throw away the key.

Very poignant and to the point. Love how you ended it. Love that it rhymes inconsistently, you didn’t do a cookie cutter rhyme scheme. Love “deafening silent screams.”
