Hesitate
Arrogant men love killing a peaceful dream
Forcing society to participate in nightmares
Independent thoughts are labeled extreme
Under scrutiny from willfully ignorant stares
People trade freedom for this secure illusion
Not realizing the hook lurking within the bait
Numbers never add up to justify conclusion
Programmed minds are groomed to hesitate

Late night musing. Listening is not the same as hearing. Don't be misinformed about true intentions, just read between the lines. Appreciate you.

Inside your head, on every beat
And the beat's so loud, deep inside
The pressure's high, just to stay alive
'Cause the heat is on."

Independent thinkers are harder to control. Can't have that...mustn't mess with the status quo...because they know if enough people thought outside their lies, their house of cards would crumble. I'd rather be "woke" & think for myself, thanks. Another mind nudger here
