Far from where I am going

Peace and a little bacon grease
will make a mighty fine slip n' slide
into the mind of a predecessor
long forgotten with in the folds
of time's lonely quilt
ancient methods and masterings have proven
more than enough for a simple modern mind
to comprehend.
So much yet so little in common
Could it be that human beings have
lost the ability to think?
the minds of many
set and are content with atrophy
while the oppressive powers at be
soak and perfect each mind to their
standard of "Knowledge"
standardised beings are we
choice taken only to be substituted
with commands and obedience
those insubordinate are silenced swiftly
or taken as insane individuals
to the standardised society
was the brain ever meant to think?
was it created for commands?
freedom of speech
the freedom to think
free will
has been taken, manipulated, and
nicknamed freedom
if only this wool sweater could be
removed from society's mind's eye
then freedom could ring.
freedom of choice
sexual, regligious, speech, or idea
all would be as they were meant to be
all would be as our predecessors,
our fathers of freedom long past
had meant them to be...
free.

nice use of muffin
