Out Thru the In Door
I went out thru the ‘in’ door… as people passed me
I know not what for… I just had to see
Their faces grew sullen… saddened and grey
For I was going… in the opposite way
What had they done… I had to explore
How had it begun… and could I restore
Their faces had changed… from one of glee
With bodies arranged… all around me
But there was one thing… I shed a tear
The people were in… a constant state of fear
For just a few… had taken control
Run like a zoo… with a single goal
To brainwash and sway… one thoughts and desires
Like easy prey… and delicate flowers
The more I observed… I could foresee
How they deserved… to be set free
I reached in my heart… and spread thru the mist
A march would start… as I shook my wrist
I then turned around… and made my way
Then to be found… a much better day.
