Soft shoot, not to kill:
big brother needs another mindless slave.
He traps you with dumbed-down propaganda
and phantoms of reality, and
30,000 days in the life later and you're dead
as a bolt, a deadbolt, aptly named;
It locks you in a carbon-copied casket.
And so the tranquilizer becomes, in effect,
more deadly than the bullet.
