True Value

By DarkBruce

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Insignia: Red, White, Blue The “American Dream.” Slavery Veiled Beneath A vibrant Façade. Isle 50: Washers Nuts, Bolts Fasteners To fetter Nonconformists. Those who strayed, Refuted the Red and white Striped cell And dared mingle With the few elite Stars. Too often are decisions Clouded over By social pollution, A cyanide to the soul. Will to live siphoned By the masked succubus. We must learn to survive Rise above the oppressors Live happy, liberated. Discard the Labels Placed upon you we cannot apologize For living. Let the Ants slave away For the media queen. Step beyond Rectilinear structure. And create With our own hands.for those who aren't familiar with "True Value" it is a Hardware Store.
