Bleakness Sweetened

Rotated monotony,
Gives hope to those
Unable to free
From perceptions linked,
To suppressions endeared.

It is clear,
Induced fear is addicting.
Like complaints self inflicted,
Creates sickening attachments.
A bleakness sweetened,
By restricted teases!
Publicly denounced...
But granted underhanded.
An authorization allowed,
Yet unspoken!
And those choosing to break free...
Are watched!
Inciting an escalating anger!

How dare they ignore the fine print,
To obey...
And remain 'hooked' to crooked addendums!
Did they not 'see' the We in 'one for all'?
Who stalled their dosage of medication?
This leak will lead to a travesty!

Who are these independent thinkers?
And where have they found the courage,
To justify their thought process?

They are not stressed or under duress?

Arrest them for...
Exposing clarity!
And censor ideals they have immediately.
'This' society will continue to be duped!
