"You were waking up"

No, no, NO!
You were waking up!
I saw the flicker
Of your eyelids stop
REM on pause
As the atrocities of
Our current societies
Came into focus
You knew you were
In the matrix!
And
You were waking up
Fist raised in rebellion
Educated hellion
Poised for
Nonviolent anarchy
With your own philosophy
You hinted it aloud
I was inspired and proud
I SAW you waking up
Then I blinked
And you faced me
With your third eye
Stapled tight
Sutured shut
How did they shut you up?
When did they
Hook you right back up?
'Cause I saw it
I know I saw it!
You...
You were waking up...
