You follow naive and blind to the lies they spread. <br />You mind your manners and swallow what they`ve said. <br />They will narrow your options til you`re too tied to choose. <br />And after the devastation clears, who will you stand to lose? <br />You absorb media sound bites conditioned for your consumption. <br />Do you think they have you in mind when they make their assumptions? <br />There are men among you who want you trodden beneath their feet. <br />And they justify their deceptions claiming defense, so clean and neat. <br />How can you function freely so sheltered and spoon fed <br />With explainations and reasonings not born of your own head? <br />If thinking for yourself were a crime... well it might as well be. <br />But I am the gingerbread man and they will never catch me.<br /><br />Brandi Guthrie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gingerbread-man-3/
