I Wont Live In Their Box

I will not be brainwashed to live as a slave

I Won't live in their Box

When I look around me

And see the way folk are

I see them following each other

That's not me by far

I will not live within their box

I'll always step outside

Authority can't brainwash me

Behind no mob I'll hide

I see strutting down the street

Their smart phones in their hands

They have no thoughts on what might be

They think it's all so grand

They never look, and sum things up

As the prison gates they wait

The chains they ever tighten up

It's the coming of our fate

Free speech will soon be pushed aside

We'll do just what they say

Forced to follow their demands

We'll just say 'That's okay'

We'll drink their poisoned water

Eat their food that's not real food

And take inoculations

As we let them treat us rude

I just want to stay the way

Life's always been for me

I will not take their brainwashing

A free man I will be

I'll just be me until the end

As I live my simple life

There's no one going to brainwash me

No matter what the strife

Thank you Julie for your kind comments. I am alone but never lonely. Each day is beautiful to me. I appreciate your nice words, my friend

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

absolutely be yourself to the very end
weird people like me and you lol are by far the most intuitive and also the most down to earth and also the most free spirited and also the most lonely by far, also sometimes the saddest, and happiest, (at diff times) and also the most inventive and creative. Ive learnt to love myself more as ive aged sixty next year (jan) and proud to be here still alive and kicking. be weird be ourselves. we are all an original brand, love your poem by the way thats what i meant to say, sorry to rave :)

Hi Coyote, ever since I was a kid I have been considered as weird by others. I am very short on friends. but I love my life. Thank you, my friend for your kind comments...Peter

Hard to be the free man. I try to keep the lies and BS away from me. Sometime hard to know the truth from a lie. Thank you Peter for sharing your amazing words and thoughts.
