The Assassination

 Thoughts are haunted

Shrouded by black sheet

Of hard reality,

None of them are alive

But they move like zombies

They hurt me

Can harm you-

If you try to nurture them.

They are operated

Poison injected

Act as they are trained to –

Talk like drunk

And sleep in the core

Of the crippled brains;

So don’t try to think beyond –

Do not remorse for loss of sense

They are dangerous

And there’s a curfew in your head.

Don’t expect anything to change

I’m not expecting you to change

You don’t have courage to do that

Neither do I –

Like you, I stand alone

I don’t dare to move –

Cautiously I breathe

I’m afraid; I hear the chaos -

And I lean

To see the decease that died

Long ago –

The death of mine.

Asassination...

The doubt I feel at getting your meaning, is what kept me from rating this higher. I think you mean that we are kept prisoner by the thinking of our societal stratus. If you are influenced by the way the people around you think, you never think for yourself. At least that was my take on it. Anyhow keep writing, you have a certain tone about the way you write, I think I can see something about to bloom. Gee
