Incompetence our best defence!!

narrative verse

Incompetence our best defence.

 

I dreamt a dream wherein I dreamt,

 I dreamt a dream of deep content.

But all the while I knew I dreamt.

I tried to wake but my attempt.

 

My mind just treated with contempt.

Am I the dreamer or the dream

 I can’t be wholly confident.

That it is not some experiment.

 

Conducted without my consent.

To monitor the dreams I’ve dreamt

 to analyse my dreams content.

By some arm of the government

 

Whose only purpose and intent

Is sadly all too evident.

Establishing a precedent.

By which they hope they can prevent

 

 expression of our discontent.

They should not be too complacent.

Because they are incompetent

and grossly overconfident.

 

We’ll find a way to circumvent

 their wish to be omnipotent.

We have to win this argument

and then provide due punishment.

 

For those found guilty of intent

 to use this foul experiment.

Which demonstrates the full extent

  of methods used by government.

 

The things they do clandestinely

Because they dare not openly.

admit to seeking thought control.

Because they know that heads would roll.

 

We have the right to privacy.

There is no way that they should be.

poking and prying in our mind

 just to see if they can find .

 

another way they can repress

 the freedoms that we should possess.

The dream I dreamt may yet come true

I can’t be sure no more can you.
