An Illusion Poem by Joshua Fegley

An Illusion

Rating: 4.0


What freedom we must have
Compromising our own judgement
Words, thoughts and desires
For the good of everyone else

You delicate little thing

If what I do, say and write
Is a problem for someone else
Then it is what it is...
Their problem

Work through it

Through imaginative
And elevated thoughts
Poetry is born
Not by compromising and conforming

Repetition is key to control

In fact, conforming
Is probaly why most of us are here
Freedom and conformity cannot co-exist
To have both...would be an impossible world

An illusion of freedom and choice

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
With so many poems offline and comments coming back. The world of political correctness and the nanny state make me sick. Perhaps Poemhunter can be changed to Nannyhunter
