Conformity Of The Mind

Most people are more comfortable with old problems than with new solutions.  ~Author Unknown
~*~*~

Read, every day, something no one else is reading.  Think, every day, something no one else is thinking.  Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do.  It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.  ~Christopher Morley
~*~*~

Mindless drones
Running freely
Killing many away
Thoughtless chatter
Weapons decay
In our minds
We run away
Is there escape
From hell’s faith
~*~
Mind control powers
They want to take over you life
Conform to their power
Give up your fight
Life is not yours
It’s a gift in itself
But who will save us
We are living in a cell
~*~
One greater nation
Is that what we show
Killing another
Taking homes
Mindless conformity
Puppets on strings
Now’s my time
I’m going to cut free
~*~
You don’t control me
My mind is my own
I’ll speak what I want
And think what I know
In the end
Everyone will die
Who is to say you don’t go tonight
~*~
Anarchy for many
Becoming you is a sin
When we fight the battle
What side will you stand in
Dare to dream
They are never out of reach
Don’t give in
To what society thinks
~*~
Judgmental mindset
They see no error in their ways
Let them think what they want
You control the day
Mindless bloodshed
Is not the way
I will not give in
Society has made me this way
~*~
One greater nation
Is that what we show
Killing another
Taking homes
Mindless conformity
Puppets on strings
Now’s my time
I’m going to cut free

Author's Note

Mr. Chris,
We cannot give in to the likes of others who want you to think that you are a horrible writer. You are one of the best I know. You shouldn't be so down on yourself. Break free of your mind chains and let the true you show. In the end, You will not believe the magic that will unfold.

Your author note is really special, a piece of work! It sheds more light to the rest of your wording. I'm hoping the person will take it all to heart. "Puppet on strings, I'm going to cut free," I like this concept and personally myself can relate,

I made my Marionette Attractions poem with a thought on it. {I do what I'm not told to do, a rebel marionette, collaring the puppet strings, the bagging is set. Pretty attractions, mazes of face reactions. I'm a princess of flushing crowns, destroy the risk, long live the web of towns. People never told me how to be good, sometimes I wonder of if they'd provided a differing path, but would I be me? Do the math.}
