What Democracy

I just woke from a nightmare

A view of things to come

Captured by the authorities

After going on the run.

.

Appearing in a darkened room

Bound were my hands and feet.

Gag in mouth, light in my eyes

Trapped in a dentist seat.

.

A hollow voice announced to me

"This will not hurt a bit

We implant this tiny device

To control as we see fit"

.

Though it may have been a bad dream

For how long remains unclear

With manipulated world events

How long before it's here?
