Black Sheep Resists Surrender
We are bred to be assimilated.
Trained from birth to make use
of ten percent of our brain.
We are bred to chase the dollar
to the point that some
will take from another.
We are bred to own.
To seek contractual castles
that permit us to hoard the sky.
Our herds are growing in number
yet our shepherds are content
to place the strain upon our backs.
We are bred to spend.
Supporting secret tribes
that only covet power.
We are bred to birth
Quality bloodlines
stamped with a government seal of approval.
We are bred to kill
For the heard is only as strong as its weakest
and we must march despite the pain.
Our heard has found its injured
still the shepherds demand we march
rather than simply putting us out of our misery.
We are bred to march
To stay strong
To complete the food chain
We are bred as sustenance
So that the ruling class
May not know suffering.
I was born to know suffering
I was born to overcome
I was born to stop the march
Heal the wounded
Help those in need
and steer them clear from the slaughter.

And that has ever been the case throughout the history of this species, except for small enclaves here and there, which never seemed to last very long.
I definately liked the tempo and sustained pace throughout the poem.
Keep sending out your beacon of light Natasha...they are waking-up!

That's pretty great right there.
Delivered with conviction and really reaches :) An awakening is needed...it is happening...slowly but it is! I love this! :)

yes, this. i love that you stand up and say these things out loud.
Your opening is the strongest for me:
"We are bred to be assimilated.
Trained from birth to make use
of ten percent of our brain."

I specially like:
I was born to know suffering
I was born to overcome
I was born to stop the march
Did you mean herd (instead of heard)?
Happy spring day ~
