Sheeple

Sheeple

A Poem by Leo Allen

If I may dare implore
Your feeble mind some more,
For your priceless attention
And inform you of a situation,
Involving the slavishness of we,
Who spend time watching T.V.;
Losing sight of ourselves,
Naively, with our brains on shelves.

The last time we spoke it was not between faces;
Rather, it was across distances, in different places.
I fear for our well-being
And true-hearted meaning --
Because who we are is something
I dare say to be slipping.

The front you see from me,
Is not the person that it seems.
Since I choose to manipulate
All the features in which I hate
So that I can feel accepted
In a population so infected
With a hate for the extraordinary
And love for the ordinary.

I suppose it is not surprising,
That we are internally dying.
