What Price Freedom

chemtrails, yes chemtrails
not contrails
contrails are normal
chemtrails are abnormal

we have a problem
with chemtrails obscuring
our blue skies

lethargic population drugged
through our drinking water
artificial additives corrupt what
we foolishly accept as food

we have a problem
with chemtrails obscuring
our blue skies

we don't care about our world
it is all becoming too much for us
after all we do have to contend
with so many important things
which take us away from reality

we have a problem
with chemtrails obscuring
our blue skies

but - but  - but - but
its the world series
then its Brittany Spears
but - but - but - but
I have to go to Starbucks
and yes really  you are right
I don't give a fuck - fuck fuck

so one day we will all wake up
with a micro chip injected
into our arms containing
all our personal details
available for the faceless ones
to check our every move

they will have 24hr access
into every area of our life
they'll be able to control our minds
from the safety of their comfy chair

and occasionally
we'll get infrequent flashbacks
we'll hear someone uttering
this is what you get sucker

its too late now to say YOU care!

Lenny that last line

I disagree on that last line. Althouh this poem is very well done in it's thinking out and it's construction it is heavy into philosophy or poetry. it is an angry poem and a great rant and that is cool but I realy don't believe in the message. I believe there are a lot of people who care and it is not too late. Either by those people or by nature it will work out in the end. Nobody will be force chipped. Big brother is one of us with the same faults. People are smart but I do believe that some have the time and some do not. Those that do choose not to make a difference. Choose, whetheer they are aware or not, that they would rather do nothing. I wonder exactly what this percentage of the population is? By man or by nature I believe we will have no choice but to care. Whether it is too late or not I don't really think matters as I really believe it will all work out in the end. This is a good poem, Lenney, has me going lol Thanks, Mark

In the 1970's

either Sweden or Switzerland prisoners had chips inplanted without any say in the matter,so it has already been done; maybe it appears insignificant as they were prisoners. But, it has happened. What worries me is that our governments are prepared to go to any lengths necessary to achieve their goals. An example being Iraq, which is an illegal war; yet they went ahead regardless. We have people in positions of power who should be in prison, Bush, Blair, Rice, Rumsfeld etc. So,in effect we are governed by criminals - on both sides of the "pond" ! Mark I could go on! I'll stop at this point! I appreciate your comments on my poem, and am glad it provoked a reaction! This poem will be re-worked and also on other sites too as I want to get people to think! Lenny
