Around the table

A Poem by Rhinounce

A look into forms of control, use of alliteration and rhyming

The crushing blows of spineless sentiments,
the use of force, human curse, its coarse
violent and volatile, the course of history,
the blotched existence of brutality has bruised memory,
control of the sensory, sensation deprivation and isolation,
punishment of the disobedient, malnourishment of the masses
Keep them weak and hungry as time passes,
physically and perceptually,
precipitating powerlessness,
imprisoned in cages invisible, border built in unconsciousness
mistakable signs, blurred lines,
restrictive oughts and noughts,
confined and defined by a system of hypocrisy
global projects not in synocracy
laws reflecting flaws, closing time draws,
drastic measures ensue, avoidable for the few,
those in association meet,
around the table take a seat
listen to the discussion of the elite
