Slave To Your Own Mind

Americans Imagine that they are free.

They feel free to buy the things they're

told to buy.

They feel free to vote for the meaningless

candidate of their choice.

They feel free, wearing the clothes that

everyone else wears.

They think they have their own opinions

based on brainwashing and propaganda.

They feel freedom of worship of 

non-existant gods. 

They think if they possess guns, their

freedom is protected.

They think their education helps them to

be free. 

They think their government provides

an environment in which to be free.

They think the rut they are in 

is a wide highway, 

or, when they retire, they'll be free.

They think the entertainments they

are force fed are a sign of their freedom.

They think that because they can still

catch a fish in a stream that the 

environment is doing just fine.

Slaves to their own minds, clueless

of the invisible bars that keep them

caged and tamed.
