Unquestioned compliance

Unquestioned compliance —
Entranced they watch
Life trickle out
And ebb away.

Dreamily awake,
Soberly sedated —
Less aware
Of who they are
With every drop
That drains.

Unseeing
Where the river flows,
Deaf
To how it rages.

Educated
Just enough
To live comfortable
In cages.
