Control Yourself

Folder: 
Society

The media can manipulate you

But no one can control you

Your thoughts are your own

You have power over your mind



Do not let others influence you

Do not be swayed by the masses

For the general public does not

Know what it means to be moral



Our ethics have been thrown out

By those that seek self-satisfaction

Forgetting that trying to be selfless

Is the truest pursuit of happiness


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: "If we do not take hold of the reigns of our own existence, someone else will. Your Thoughts Create Your Reality."

i really like this. i have the utmost respect for prose/poetry that actually has a message to it. and this is a message i feel is valid and can relate to as well.
