Mental Penitentiary

Drowning in an illusion of freedom

Ignorant minds molded by society

and driven by the whim of society.

Victims of mental dictatorship caught

in a web of numbness.

Confused minds seated high on

dummy thrones with fake smiles

plastered on their faces convincing

themselves that they are happy.

 

Corrupted minds bound in chains.

Constantly battling an identity crisis,

gesturing their captivity in somber

tones, narrating their plight in spoken

word while wallowing in self-hate.

Logic protruded, twisted thoughts and

opinions affecting their notions of

beauty and life values.

Embracing a fake identity to impress

other people.

 

Living off societal thoughts and perceptions.

A mentally crippled generation told what to

wear, eat, believe and think.

Stripped of their culture and forced to accept

inhumane domination.

Taking marinated opinions as the ultimate truth.

Grown men strutting the side-walk in diapers,

afraid of responsibility.

Grown women wallowing in self pity and low

self esteem.

 

Moving contradictions, oblivious to what’s

going on around them.

Brazen faith, screaming controversy.

Misinterpreted facts, misunderstood intentions.

Minds locked in a mental penitentiary under

solitary confinement.

Brain washed; incapable of thinking on their

own because of hate and fear.

Broken spirits, trapped souls seeking reprieve.
