Feeding off the working class Coveting power and influence Barking new instruction mindless masses stay in line Propaganda burning holes Esteemed as right But with truth glazed over Denying induvidual thought I am but a string puppet Being taught to dance Educated to be placed Systematically determined I am but a statistic Majority, minority Morality, set aside Its futile to resist and i'm certain that if i drive into those trees, it would make less of a mess, than she's made of me...

NIcely done here......society has us cornered in against the walls......we're their little androids of deeds....Wonderful poem. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

But resist we do, and prevail we shall. Great poem. I think it's one of the best I've ever read concerning an outlook on society. and in the end we still pretend the time we spend not knowing when we're finally free and you could be -NIN "The Wretched" Angel of Darkness [This message has been edited by Dark Enchantress (edited 02-16-2001).] |

nicely written thoughts here but i think we are what you say we are only when we allow them to do to us as they will So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S. |

i sense maybe some influence from the great punkrock band from Canada, Propagandhi? I gotta say I love the rebellion in your poem, keep writing Jeremy Life is fading me away, far away, but I’m sketching myself back, line by line, mark by mark.
