'The Village'

entry picture

Captured to a destination unknown.

And yet you awaken ‘home from home’

Surrounded by high mountains and sea.

This place is a mystery, where can it be?

 

With your mind, people play their tricks.

You are just a number now…’Number 6’

Don’t trust the person stood next to you.

The person in control is called Number 2.

 

There is no escape, by land sea or air.

The bay’s concrete boat is going nowhere.

People, non stop try to conquer you mind.

Information they want, every answer to find.

 

Crafty torture, underhand methods at play.

You’re under surveillance, 24 hours a day.

They want to control you, to break your will.

Liars they plant, don’t be fooled by their skill.

 

The stars above won’t reveal where you are.

If you attempt an escape, you won’t get far.

Nobody has ever escaped from there before.

‘Rover’ with catch you…be afraid of its roar.

 

The idyllic surroundings are all a disguise.

Beware of concrete heads, with roving eyes.

There are no blind spots in this place to hide.

‘The Village’ has got you trapped forever inside.

Thank you, yes, based on the the 60's cult series The Prisoner, a superb creation. I have visited Portmeirion many years ago, were the The Prisoner was filmed, a fascinating place and must go again soon!

Very dystopian and effective, Mike.
