Clones
The age of sheep is upon us.
We live confined in a society where normality is revered.
Those who choose to be different are ridiculed.
Those who dare to challenge the machine are silenced.
The young are brainwashed to be pawns.
The priests sin more than anyone.
The knights kill pointlessly.
All the while the king laughs as he counts his wealth.
Do we fight?
Do we stand up to right our wrongs?
No, instead we fall in line, cogs in the machine.
Or we turn our heads as if none of this is real.
Either way we are mere clones of crooked acceptance.

I answer this with a poem of my own , I dedicate to yours !
"Weaklings Who Bow Down To Judges And Police ,
A Nation Of Sheep , So Easily Fleeced ,
As If Those In Power Deserve That Great Right ,
To Never Be Questioned , Nor Challenged To Fight ,
I Say Ye Are Cowards , A Pox On Ye All ,
Those Standing Not Proud , Kneeling Shall Fall ,
To Die On My Feet , Or Live On My Knees ?
Saying Kiss My Ass Or Please Master Please ?
A Slave I Am Not , I Am Master Of Me ,
Some Die While Alive , I Shall Die To Be Free ,
I Shall Live To Rebel , And Do What I Dare ,
And Speak Against Those Who Act So Unfair ,
And If Need Be Fight With Both Fang And With Claw ,
Do What Thou Wilt Is My Word Of The Law !"
We Must Stand , And Not Be Sheep , Who Need Some Shepherd ;
I Honor The Goat Of Rebellion !
I like your poem much , hear your words , but I advocate hope and action !
