You carry the burdens that have been placed on you. <br />Your eyes are blinded thinking what you see is true. <br /> <br />Your direction is controlled by the harness in your mouth. <br />You don't know if you heading North or South. <br /> <br />You eat what you are feed. <br />You sleep wherever they make your bed. <br /> <br />You make no decisions. <br />What you see as truth is really a vision. <br /> <br />I've tried to release the harness, but all you do is spit. <br />I've tried to clean you off, but you prefer to wallow in your own shit. <br /> <br />You are fulfilling the prophecy that has been given to you. <br />You stand there frozen waiting for them to tell you what to do. <br /> <br />You think they care but for you they have no respect. <br />You are seen as a joke, a beast with no intellect. <br /> <br />They present you with a mask that you proudly wear. <br />Apparently you don't mind if people point and stare. <br /> <br />Who are you? I'll let you know. <br />You are the tree that was forbidden to grow. <br /> <br />Born in concrete you never had a chance to blossom. <br />Now you look as dumb as the lowly possum. <br /> <br />Release these invisible shackles they have on you. <br />Change your Identity become something new. <br /> <br />You could be a horse, bear, a panther or a lion. <br />You can be aggressive like the tiger or innocent like a child crying. <br /> <br />Make up you mind because anything is realistic. <br />But decide soon before you become another statistic.<br /><br />James Royster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/society-s-jackass/
