Listen to the waves

How majestically they reside

Tides constantly moving in and out

Breathing in and out

The water trickles to the shore

Dragging the bodies against the current

The voices flow towards the water

The push-pull effect unnoticeable

Igniting in conversation of the children’s education and futures 

Never noticing how the children have grown

No longer are they the young impressionable fools

They may notice their control, but the parents never will

Instead their eyes glaze over as their children's eyes dim 

The current pulling their life under 

These tides are relentlessly controlled

The moon unable to let them stop 

When they look at their reflections in the water

The hazy faces of the dead stare back

They are all the same

With every rotation of the Earth

Every new direction turned

They will never stop being controlled

With every passing day

Every new direction turned

We will never stop being controlled

We are all the same

And we will never escape them
