Elites Letter For You

I'm not an experienced poet, but this sums up my perspective of our current situation on planet earth. Please let me know what you think!

Pay the pied piper, all that you can,
And if you don’t, you’ll meet the man,
Who’ll grind your bones, until there dust,
All the while smiling, “who else can you trust”

Your thoughts are worthless, but we’ll tax them to,
Don’t smoke pot, but drink this brew,
Go to school, be patriotic,
Don’t think for yourself, that’s idiotic,

Let me poke you with this needle,
It’s not important how you feel,
Those natural cures are not the way,
Besides, “We’re broke, and YOU must pay,”

Keep on sleeping, in our world,
Around our fingers, you are twirled,
Don’t you know, Were here for you,
Don’t believe us? Watch the news,

Your gig is up, the time has come,
Follow our lead, while we take your guns,
We’ll keep you safe, inside our nest,
Be a good little citizen, just like the rest,

Freedom awaits, once were thru,
Live off of us, then you’ll have it to,
If you resist, and don’t like our bread,
Not to worry, YOU won’t get fed,

Labor and sleep, it’s all you need,
This thing called life, Is great indeed,
If we have to tighten our belts,
Who we kidden, we’ve got your help

Life itself is defined by living,
Liberty, is barely breathing,
Pursuit of liberty, a carrot on a string,
And we have bought the whole damn thing.

Oh how I like it.
Maybe you were a poet and didn't know it?

You should write some more, of what is on your mind,
for some clues on the problem, is what you would find.
Another Edgar Allen Poe, or Robert Frost are things we need,
to say more things like this; our minds pure seed.

It's all but lost, poetry, indeed.
But if we try hard enough, the seed, will be.

I often find what's on my mind
is oft said best when told in rhyme
So do not tarry, tell us more
all about what is in store
For those of us who do not sleep
For we're awake, our souls to keep.

I'm not half bad at prose, myself. Or so I like to think.

Not half bad at all! Well done good sir.
