I wrote this the other day while in my work training. Weird how it came out. I'm usually not one to have such a flow in a poem ((da dum da dum etc)). Anyways, yeah. :)
Systematic Demoralizing
Stroke the ego of the man who sits alone and weeps.
Push him towards enlightenment and hope he doesn’t scream.
Force the torch down his throat and blind his open eyes.
Open his head, scrub with suds, and feed him evil lies.
Cover the holes with extra dirt and wrap them up with plastic.
Shove him in with all the sheep and hide away the glass wick.
Lock them down and over time, you’re reading to them faster.
Keep them lost, a book- a god, worshiping false masters.

i liked that a lot, your right the format was different but i really liked it. it has a real constant theme while portraying that theme through variety... excellent word choice and everything... very good job.

Re: Systematic Demoralizing.
im currently in the same situation with training for a dead end job just so i can pay the bills. its nice to know that there are other people with similar mindsets out there going through the same thing. keeping your brain thinking and being creative is the only way to stave off the possibility of becoming one of those brain dead drones. keep writing and dont sucumb to the numbness. your better than that.
