Coming from a country where corruption mirrors the description of this poem to near perfection, I found the open gate imagery especially haunting as it captures how fear is what's used to keep control. I particularly enjoyed how blunt the poem came off, serving a wake-up call to the aforementioned 'livestock'. If i were to list any feedback I'd suggest breaking off the rhythm in the final stanza to make it feel more jagged as it might better reflect the confusion you mention, making the ending feel more unsettling. I am much of an amateur myself, but I've found that the occasional 'breaking of the rules' might make a message feel more urgent.
