More of Less

You took the bait
You let them
You let them get to you
You let them get you, exactly where they want you to be
Send you, exactly where they want you to go:
Helplessness
Obedience
Trapped
Bitterness
Powerless
Intensely so, that you are left hollow.
Dreamless
Hopeless
Listless
Selfless

It’s not right, it’s not right
Because you
You, have the right to have a right
To develop
To flourish
To say no
To say it’s enough

Enough to their shiny Jaguar while you’re licking food off the altar
Enough to the fashionable zombies while you’re sewing up tattered freebies
Enough to the empty blabber of socialite madmen while you’re faking an ‘Amen’

There’s nothing wrong with wanting what’s right
But there’s nothing right with whining what’s wrong
Because that’s exactly where they want you to be
That’s exactly what they want you to feel
So you can be:
Choiceless
Helpless
Motionless

Hear the echoes of more of the gripping less-es
And swallowing less of what could have been more

Stop, you should say stop
Because you have the right to have what’s right
Free set yourself free
Because you’re right is to be exactly where you want yourself to be
Then they should see
How powerful you can be when you’re free
When you are free
