Real Illusion

What is real,
what is not?
End the illusion of freedom
by hangman's noose
or bullet shot?
Defiance or compliance,
is there a visible difference?
Is life a sitcom
or some other abuse?
Confront you is what I do
whenever my inner chamber
is violated;
don't care if you're a member
of established norms,
or masturbated
by endless forms
of senseless bureaucratic slavery:
it's still aberrational knavery
designed integrity to squelch,
it murders my soul
as you blasphemy belch
and my creativity quench
with political stench...

    Sounds like the words of those professional protesters: globalisation, climate change, stop post office closures, 'them'; two or three simple questions usually are sufficient to ascertain that the main fun of it all, is the protesting. Good when you are eighteen, I suppose, but for most of us tiresome later on.

    With or without poetic licence, I do not consider that I can be masturbated, so I did not like that.

    The poem was not a description of the picture prompt, but did show its angry origins.

      Each to his own...

      This was a response to a prompt contest, and did actually mean to reflect the 60ies protest movement and such; of course, the meaning of the masturbatory blurb is in the mental sense as the seeming endless paper reams wind around the mind to rub away any sensible meaning to life; sorry that you did not like it, what can I say?...DW

    A very original entry, strong and fearless word-choice, a hard punch at every rhyme. I like it very much.
