The 21st Century Slave

Open your eyes, ears, and senses to reality's exiting truth

You Are Continuing To Be Enslaved My Cousin

TV Shackled To Leg,

Reading In Fear,

While Your Mind Is Caged To The Self-Conscience They've Assigned You

What Happen To Your Outspoken Mind

They've Got Your Footsteps In Rewind

Break Free Dear Cousin

Love What You Love,

Love Who You Love

Kiss How You Choose,

Kiss Who You Choose

Turn Lights Onto Your Shadows

Turn Your Head Towards Fear

Visualize Your Future, 

Then Make It A Reality

Author's Note

Our people are becoming more enslaved everyday. But don't worry, cause more become aware of it everyday...



I wrote this poem listening to Secrets by OneRepublic. You'll get the full effect if you listen to this while you read the poem

It's good imagery, but be careful of your spacing. Maybe a line separation between Self conscience and they've assigned. Also, I don't understand why all the words are capitalized. Be careful with your power sentences and use them when it is best. Too many takes the power away from all of them. But I love the poetry when I look past the punctuation. If you want a more specific edit message me and I will give you my thoughts.
