Array ( [sid] => 164133 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Do not listen to your heart, it only lies... [time] => 2011-01-06 14:26:12 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Welcome to the sleeping world, the corporate fabrication of the real.
The blind leading the blind in marching stances of slumber.
We control you and mould you to our will, packed and properly wrapped to be sold as livestock.
We feed you your imagination, we tell you what to dream.
Because we fear you.

Inside of you is something we do not want spreading, a disease of love and understanding.
A light and magical being, one of compassion and promise.
That does not fit in our design, our system does not run on dreams.
It runs on logic, logic we feel fit to tell you.
That we feel fit to make you believe is the real world.

We feed you in your cages, give you buttons to push.
Giving you the illusion that you are free, free to shop, free to watch anything but the truth.
The truth is what we tell you is the truth.

Listen to you Government, listen to your teachers.
Listen to the masked treads of media, listen to the sheep as they lay.
We are your shepherds, we hold you in pens so you do not harm yourself.
But you are welcome to harm others, the less of you too control the better we can work.
Listen to my words and obey.
Listen to your authorities.
Do not listen to your heart.
It only lies. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 235 [topic] => 43 [informant] => lostrelic [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Do not listen to your heart, it only lies...

we feed you in your cages give you buttons to push...... great line in expressing containment of the masses, enjoyed this write a strong voice challenging our world and our delusional sense of freedom.

Really enjoyed this and love the message it brings about the lack of freedom we have in the world.

It is well written and structured. just purely wonderful.

Well done
