Social Oppression

Will we lose our dignity

if we let them control us

will this be our destiny,

bounding us into darkness.

They're bounding us to their rules

brainwashing us to become

incoherent, unfree fools

destroying us 'til we're numb.

They're dictating how to be
they stole our freedom of speech
can anyone hear our plea?
eat your words, you rotten leech.

They're stealing our life force

raping our innocence

unable to show remorse

bounding us into silence.

Will we lose our dignity

if we let them control us

will this be our destiny,

bounding us into darkness

their odious ways cause death

of the innocence of today

then we shall save our last breath,

fight to see another day.

They have stolen our freedom,
but they are bound to blindness,
if we let them conquer us

we'll turn into one of them,

feeling completely lifeless

an outcast we shall become.

Losing sight of tomorrow
we'll fight against this nightmare
destroying all the sorrow
a rebellion we shall declare.

Will we lose our dignity

if we let them control us

will this be our destiny,

bounding us into darkness

their odious ways cause death

of the innocence of today

then we shall save our last breath,

fight to see another day.

We can't forget who we are

we must swim against this stream
searching for the northern star

we'll break from their crazy scheme.

We'll shall create a new light

birthing to a new future,

our story we'll rewrite 

we shall rise from the amber.

Will our differences

give sight to those that are blind

saving us from this crisis 
leaving no one left behind
we will break free from this curse
we'll embrace our uniqueness
to build a world so diverse
the unkind shall be speechless,

until we take our last breath

fight to see another day.

Nicely written. Well Done.

Thank you very much.

I liked the heat you put into this... and the but is - the vagueness of what it is you are railing about. I know my own social and societal 'buttons' - but what are yours?

[Mika =^-^=]

basically everything society "norms" are. like guys suppose to be like this not this way. Women are suppose to act this way not this other way. How to dress, how to view things, etc. there so much what is happening out there that literally it makes those that swims against the stream stand out very clearly. At least it is for me.

[Chris]

Agreed. By speaking up with your thoughts - more clearly - you can empower a difference. True in today's life you could become a target by those who disagree about damn near anything BUT comes a time when we stand FOR our thoughts rather than hide from other's thoughts.

I taught myself how to do this. I still have to learn a lot but I'm trying my best, but my mind goes all over the place and I guess one time is hard to focus on just one thing.
I do eventually want to turn all this into lyrics, then I could probably get professional help and make this better. I mean, my end goal in life is to be a musician, a singer, to be more specific.

[Chris]

The form of this IS lyrical - I agree. You're learning - takes time to be you and the insights you are displaying will be more power-full with focus.

Thank you for your advice. Currently I'm trying to modify the poem. I hope the editing, allows me to focus and say what I'm trying to say.
But I appreciate your constructive feedback. Thank you so much

Anytime Mika...
