Control
January 12, 2011
The girl
The boy
Both press
Razors to their wrist
Controlled by society
They watch others
Jump when the others
Say jump
They watch as
Their society
Tells them
What to do
They listen to
As the man
In office
Struggles for control
They threaten
To make change
When change can’t be made
They watch
As people
Were killed
Day after Day
They struggle
Alone away
From one another
To take control
Of their society
Of their own
The blood runs down
Like water
Down the wall
We sit
We watch
Listening
Being controlled
When so little people
Try to take control

Interesting, on what you said about people controling us. But overall, once again this is good!
