Why do we follow along so easily, despite common sense?
X across your mouth
is cloth today
and soon the cloth may
drop away but
fear to speak remains

no outcry, thought or word
will dare escape
now your strapped
on the silent side of
an invisible gate

walk boldy
towards the door
flailng, screaming
outraged at the manipulation
that binds you in chains

Dorothy,
you have had the free will all along
