    the individual

    blinded by the "light"
    like sheep we follow
    anything to hold on to
    even if the "truth" fed to us is hollow

    open your eyes
    dont fall over the edge
    blindfolded by deceit
    the rules and commands stifle your free thought and will as it cries

    wolves at the door behind a disguise
    dont you know?
    its happend before
    this is just a reprise

    its hidden from you
    lies and secrets and secret lies
    your power, your individual is their secret
    the secret is kept from you, to keep you uncomprehending and obedient

    brainwashed to fight wars that threaten the perjuries
    without you, who are they?
    without them, you are free
    abandon your falsehoods and be liberated

    So young to have found so much wisdom. May you continue in your quest to reach other's. As a younger person you can reach your generation better than us older ones. And yours is where the fate of the future lies.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
