Many Chains
In this world
we are never free
To be who we want to be,
To do what we want to do
And say what we feel.
The public mind
conspires against us,
Forcing us to conform
to what people think of as normal.
Freedom is just a word,
A wish and hope,
An unattainability,
Standing side by side with peace.
Technology doesn't work for us,
It mearly appears that way.
We are really slaves to it,
With most people unable to do without.
Many chains bind us
And the only way to break these
is through hope,
Peace in yourself,
Respect for all,
And love.

I do like things ending nicely and it didn't feel right to leave it on a sad note.

mighty impressive. i really enjoyed the issue and you way of explaining it, and not having a dreary ending.
