Principles

 

I'm sick and tired of you propaganda and you lies,

It's the truth but only as you see it with your eyes.

Your selling but I'm not buying.

You're duplicitous in this conspiracy,

You ask for my silence and complicity,

But I can't submit to these unreasonable demands.

My mind is not yours to command.

You can't disguise the truth by dressing it in lies,

I taught  to reason as a child, to  look for answers with my own eyes.

I learnt to question and explore,

I can't' stop thinking...thinking big.

It's the lack of evidence I deplore.

Proof without evidence is no proof at all.

Just as words without any action have no meaning.

Your ideas leave me with a distasteful empty feeling.

I know everything is not as it seems,

False smile, false hope, false dreams.

You want us to fit an unobtainable ideal,

Which simply isn't real.

You subjugate and you imprison

To maintain your idealistic vision.

Every day you demand I compartmentalise myself in to a box

You like to think you control the locks,

But you can't take our thoughts and freedom,

For they are ours alone to give.

 

You have no power over me
