Savage Perceptions To the twilight covered hillside, They came from every side. Those who knew not death, had never wanted, never cried, To watch a madman dance. Society so sick, so shallow, Adults starved as children, Now watched in curiosity, With their questions of why and how, Their conditioning left to chance. Solitude unscrupulous, And socially a sin, Isolated, everyone, In bottles from within, They die as they begin. Their factories turn out and out, The essentials of their lives, And as the worker bees survive, They swarm as one within a hive. And in synthetic placitude they grin. Note: upon finishing Brave New World... felt sorry for the "savage", John, felt sorrier for society. Sherry Gardner Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. |

This is so original and so well written, Sherry... It really showcases your talent, well. I especially loved this. Solitude unscrupulous, And socially a sin, Isolated, everyone, In bottles from within, They die as they begin. copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
