WORLDLY INFLUENCES
Mass control can make or break a nation,
workers unions can cause consternation,
governments and politicians rise and fall,
when nations rise up and make their call.
Experiments are done on human behaviour,
tests on how hard they're willing to labour,
movies and television are powerful tools,
to twist and shape the lives of us human fools.
Blindly we follow the music and songs,
using excuses to cover our wrongs,
never consider the consequences of our deeds,
continually want others to fill our needs.
We think we can hide and there's safety in numbers,
but that's just a lie that our mind encumbers,
when the day arrives and our lives come under scrutiny,
we stand alone as crowds flee from the unity.
