The Boy Who Cried Cover-Up

The Boy Who Cried Cover-Up

Devoted to defiance, you write with the ink of indulgence

But your treacherous ascension from the pits of reticence

Will end with the continental collapse of your absolution

So proceed, with caution, down the primrose path of revolution

From our concealed cameras you can try to seek camouflage

But inevitable is your rebellion's execution

When your efforts are oppressed by the missiles of sabotage

You will sing the ode of obliteration

Do you have the nerve to ignore the orders of those you serve?

Surrender your dedication to the drones of obedience

If you defy our commands and continue on your course

We'll expose the emaciated emotions crawling  beneath your skin

From our concealed cameras you can try to seek camouflage

But inevitable is your rebellion's execution

When your efforts are oppressed by the missiles of sabotage

You will sing the ode of obliteration

You're a ballistic masochist who's begging for a lethal injection

Tremble in your trenches, for belligerent is the death that approaches

Watch as the fault lines of your fragile empire rupture

From our concealed cameras you can try to seek camouflage

But inevitable is your rebellion's execution

When your efforts are oppressed by the missiles of sabotage

You will sing the ode of obliteration

Author's Note

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD I'm back. I know I've gone close to another month since my last update, and I apologize. I had to do my college application week a few days ago, and I am happy to say that I gotten it off my mind for now. Hopefully, I'll be able to write more now, but only time will tell. Anyway, tell me what you think, as usual :)

An excellent write with an in-depth view of how governments operate under the cover of darkness as well as spying on the citizens who trumpet a cover-up. You certainly won't win.

Keep writing!

Well, this is certainly an old piece of mine you're checking out. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. Unfortunately, I don't write on this website anymore, as it seems to have lost much of its writer base, but I do continue to write things on Wattpad, if you decide you want to keep up with my writing. My username is OlympicGing1 on that site.

Thank you. This site is extremely slow due to downloading ads, so I doubt I will be posting much in the future. Good Luck with your writing!

Wonderful job! This is a wonderful piece, Dan. I haven't read any of your writing in a very long time, and I have missed your style very much. I am glad you have time to focus more on writing now. Good luck with college preparations and all! I still can't believe how far you've come as a writer and person. Excellent job, my friend! Very well done :)

If anything, I think the break that this school year made me take is good for my creativity. It was right near the end of summer that my creativity began to really run dry, and the 5 pieces I wrote after that showed it. I was really running myself into the ground, mainly because I became obsessed with writing, which made it feel more like an obligation than a passion. Nowadays, I'm lucky if I write one piece a month, but that is much more than I was writing for the first few months after summer break ended. It's slow, but I think, with time, I'll get back to where I was with writing. Thanks for reviewing this CG, I'm glad you liked it. I deliberately made it wordy so that it was similar to how many legal documents are these days(all "we recommend with the upmost urgency that you confide to us your-"and I'm all like "Listen, just be CON to the CISE"lol. :)

[Cool Girl]

Lol you're very welcome :)

Lovely poem!
Loved it!
Keep on writing!

I am so glad, you returned. I also really enjoyed reading this

[Amber Lily]

Man did I miss reading your work. Your use of vocabulary always astounds me every time. Government is a tricky thing, we want to believe they are looking out for our best interest, but how do we even know that is their true intention? Governments are built on secrets and which they decide to let us know. Will we stand in silence and allow our obliviousness to run our lives? OR WILL WE FIGHT!?!?
Thought provoking as ever, great work Dan :)

[Shawn Hatfield]

This is really good. The language is great and I really dig the title. The form of some words being larger than others, gives a clear depiction of importance.

[DoormanDan]

I'm really glad you like this piece. This is the first piece I've written in quite a few months that I'm actually satisfied with. I was hoping to make this feel both serious and a little whacky at the same time(like many classic rock songs are, only with my own style). :)

[Simon Welsh]

Here today, hone tomorrow. Really wordy. Good. Someone's been in the barracks.

[DoormanDan]

Thank you for reviewing this piece! This song is wordy because it's designed to be wordy(like many legal documents are these days). :)

[Valentine]

Whew, very deep thoughts for one so young. It made me think of which country or group of people you were trying to reach. Valentine

[DoormanDan]

Thanks for the review Valentine. I wasn't really thinking of a specific country when writing this, but rather I was just considering any scenario in which government becomes corrupted power and seeks to oppress anybody who opposes them. :)
