you give up your own basic freedom of thought
and feeling, like the livestock gets their earrings
delicate birdwings clipped with plastic
you see the depictions of your own dreams
psychedelic jesters, dancing symbols on a screen
nod your head yes, yes, yes, without question
foaming at mouth
Powerful expression here of
Powerful expression here of conformity and loss of freedom associated with it. Loved the image of earrings brings it to the fore, imo!
here is poetry that doesn't always conform
