THE YOU, THAT SUITS THEM

 

Be you,
But don't you, 
Be you, 
So much that we, 
See you, 
As a threat, 
Because we have a stake, 
In your breaths, 
Of compliance, 
And if you defy us, 
We might turn them breaths, 
Into silence, 
We're the wolves of your reliance, 
And our aliance, 
Was built on your lack of defiance, 
So now, Be you, 
But don't you, 
Be true, 
To he who, 
Questions everything that seems true, 
Because, 
We will deem you, 
An allow our regime to, 
Steal the heartbeat, 
Of what once gleamed true, 
So now, 
Be you, 
But don't you, 
Dream too, Long, 
As we require YOUR reality
To sell OUR dream on,
As we conspire, 
It's in your interests to, 
be quiet, 
Your outspoken nature, 
= inticing a riot, 
Or at least that's how we'll sell it, 
So be you, 
By all means, 
you be true, 
to who you are, 
But it won't get you far, 
We don't require individuals 
We like rituals 
We like to keep expression, To a minimal, 
We reject the spiritual, 
For the physical, 
And also, 
We like to keep clothing, 
To a minimal, 
We like subliminals, 
And to appear mystical And enchanting, 
To keep your thought processes, 
minuscule, 
You'll see us in schools, 
and in work places, 
And Any place, 
there's a trace, 
Where the slot, 
doesn't accommodate, 
someone's face, 
So, 
be you, 
By any means, 
Scream truth, 
But see, 
You will always succumb, 
To who WE want YOU to be..

be you yourself not what they want you to be poetr

I like the concept of hidden manipulation ...
that there is some power over which we are
powerless.
Not so much Who you? as Who them?
