They

Tony36

 Sit Down

Shut up

Stay in line

And on and on and on

 

They don't want you to think for yourself

They don't want you to stand for your rights

 

They want obedient  people 

Mindless drones

To do their bidding 

Smart enough to do the job

But dumb enough to be easily controlled 

 

They Tell You who to hang out with

They choose every aspect of your life

You mean nothing to them

Just another slave

                        True words Tony but some of us think outside to the box we have been put in and live a wonderful life.

                          I often refer to them as sheep, but then I feel I am insulting the sheep. Nice work.
