"The Chains of Control"

In life's journey, we're bound by chains so fine,
Controls that shape us, from the very beginning's design.

First, our parents' grasp, with wishes unfulfilled,
Their ambitions and dreams, that we're expected to build.
Their love and care, though well-intentioned, can be a weight,
A burden to carry, as we navigate life's fate.

Next, the school and college, with their flawed design,
Try to mold us, to fit into a predetermined line.
Their methods, though meant to guide, can be confining and cold,
Leaving us searching, for a sense of self, yet untold.

Then, society's influence, with its outdated creed,
Propagates relationships, where emotions are the need.
A world where feelings reign, and logic takes a backseat,
A realm where love and attraction, are often hard to greet.

Fourth, the financial chains, that bind us tight,
A never-ending cycle, of earning and spending every day and night.
Time, a precious commodity, lost in the daily grind,
As we toil and labor, leaving our dreams and passions behind.

And last, the unseen force, the population industry's might,
A silent controller, that shapes our lives, day and night.
A world already overflowing, with bodies and souls,
Where our choices, though personal, contribute to the population's goals.

But there's a way to break free, to shatter these chains so strong,
To understand the controls, and rise above, where we all belong.
For when we comprehend, the forces that shape our fate,
We can begin to escape, and create a life that's truly great.

Understanding all the controls, and escaping them with ease,
Will bring us happiness and freedom, like a warm summer breeze.
A life untethered, where choices are our own,
Where we can live, love, and laugh, without the weight of the world's throne.
