Summary:
Poem about the ever constricting control upon humans. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ab8aQDUO7Dw

They control the air we breathe

The food we eat, the water we drink

The ground we walk upon,

The time we spend

They control the thoughts of men

They control the swish of the pen

 

The powerlessness of people

Drives poets to write

They control our sleeping dreaming night

They feed us with myths and lies

 

The poet has no control

Their thoughts are all they have

They have nothing

But the thoughts inside their heart

Inside their blood inside their bones

The poet has nothing

But words controllers

Fail to control

      Yes the duality of poetry it is rebelious and at the same time it blows away on the breeze.
