Poetry: Independence

by Roy T

Created on: March 21, 2009

They tell us what to do every day,

How to think, and what to say,

What to wear, and what to eat,

It's in everybody you ever meet.

We are no longer individual soals,

Just actors playing our roles,

Saying yay for Us! We're all so free,

But we're slaves, can't you see?

We celebrate our freedom with pride,

While our leaders commit genocide,

They send our children to fight and die,

Over a giant pile of lie after lie.

Our freedoms are being taken away,

No matter what we do, or what we say,

Our leaders don't care about us at all,

They want us at their beck and call.

Beware those who say that they bring change,

Because the cjhange they offer is to rearrange,

Yes their names are different, but their goal's the same,

And in the end, we just have ourselves to blame.
