Brain Wash

[Caleb Murdock]

"Mind control of the masses, putting people in submission to a ruler's power" -- that's the meaning of the poem according to your second post, but I don't find that in the poem. Basically, you aren't giving the reader enough information to see the meaning.

Brain Wash (not sure about the title)

blaring car horns
blind my eyes so (how do horns "blind" you, unless you mean the blindness of not being able to understand?)
I only feel the rush
of a monumental sound
like a train would
as I'm bounded to the tracks (now you are bound to tracks, huh? cars, trains -- where are you?)
obscuring my senses

I sit with an audience (now you are in an auditorium)
and lights dimmed low
consoling music hums
sweeping my thought
a Speaker now persistent
from the hierarchical stage
“we are united, believe
in me I have the power” (you suggest in this stanza that the speaker is mesmerizing -- but is that brain-washing?)

no more blinding horns
to take my sight (now you are outside amid horns again)
now I awake with law (now we find out it was a dream -- how does that fit in with the rest of the poem?)
binding only life

Too much is going on in this poem without adequate explanation being given. The poem isn't comprehensible. I'm guessing that you are young (I haven't looked at your bio) and that you are expecting other people to have the same thought-processes that you do (a common assumption of the young), but that isn't true.
