The Autonomous

You hear the sound

The sound of calling

It rings in all the rooms

You answer the call

You stand up

Like all the other empires

You swear your loyalty

Like all the other empires

You are reminded

Like all the other empires

You obey

She doesn't stand

You look at her

She doesn't swear loyalty

You question her

She doesn't obey

You shun her

In her mind

She observes it all

She secretly watches

She watches the brainwashing

From childhood

To adulthood

She finds it pointless

Daily it happens

Daily she watches the cycle

Daily she doesn't care
