Mike Hauser Poet Rhyme

Today's Control

They tell you the way to think
They tell you, you must conform
How many secrets do they keep
How many different suits have they worn

They tell you their share of lies
Pass it off as the whole truth
Hope that you'll keep closed your eyes
While they do the things they do

Don't bother messing with the facts
Facts only get in the way
There's not a fool they haven't met
Unconcerned with what you have to say

Shut your mouth and pay your dues
That is what they think of you
Every thing will work out fine
As long as you don't have a clue

With fingers crossed behind their backs
With lists made up of alibies
As they tell you where you should be at
Pointing to the dead end signs

At least when were dead we don't have to worry about being taxed to death (pun intended) anymore! (This is how I pay my dues)…Well written write Mike!~Che :)
