Equality?
Equality?
 
 In a society where the weak and disabled 
 are cast away,
 shunned,
 disregarded:
 
 We must make decisions.
 
 Keep
 the valuable ones
 
 Locked up, under 
 care.
 
 No real boundaries keep them tied,
 no borders, no locks, no fences
 
 For the co-operative ones,
 The ignorant ones.
 
 Only fear keeps them in line.
 Fear of the unknown,
 Of the "beasts" they have been taught about
 since childhood.
 
 Any threat to society itself,
 To corruption
 Is sent away
 
 Taken.
 
 Gone.
 
 Dead? 
 Perhaps.
 
 We know-
 US, the 
 government.
 
 We always know.
 
 Society is expected to morn, but move on.
 
 That is how it is,
 How it will always be.
 
 I am part of the government,
 Part of life.
 
 I help create the future,
 Help write the future;
 indirectly,
 Yet I do.
 
 Society is ignorant. 
 
 But the intellectually smart,
 the artists,
 pose a threat.
 
 They know.
 And they are prepared,
 ready,
 armed.
 Not with weapons, but 
 truth.
 
 Their
 awakening; 
 connections; 
 realization;
 
 are potentially damaging.
 
 And when the people know-
 About their loved ones,
 taken by "beasts",
 or "illness",
 
 They will 
 fight.
 
 Maybe even prevail.
 
 But until then, until the 
 awareness:
 
 Ignorance Is bliss.
