For Freedom Poem by Chris G. Vaillancourt

For Freedom

Rating: 4.1


We are so controlled
that we cannot
act until we
are told what to do.

we've been robbed
of our
own human-ness
by a set of standards
that no not
promote liberty.

we're afraid to
act as we want to
for fear of the
reprisal that
will surely follow.

Paranoid people
looking over
their shoulders for
Big Brother or his agents.

we're told to
react in the
correct manner even
if the correctness
is wrong for us.

The whole trip of
society is to play
various games
with each other in order
to survive.

Instead of being people,
just human beings,
we end up as
robots echoing
the same agreements.

Indignant over an
issue we gather
together and yet
we run when get
ordered to disperse.

What really can 'they' do
if everyone
just refused to
go along with them?
