Analysis of RIGHT THINKING’ IS ALWAYS WRONG
Phil Roberts 1957 (Melbourne)
One of the cruellest ironies there ever was
The cruellest that could ever come along,
Is that, despite what the mind-controllers claim
‘Right thinking’ is always wrong.
Despite what the mind-controllers say
‘Right thinking” cannot be justified,
But who dares stand up to the bullies
When free thinkers are cruelly vilified.
The ‘correct thinkers’ are most determined
To control our acts and control our minds,
In the ‘70s and ‘80s their methods were awkward
But by the ‘90s their techniques had refined.
So now brainwashing starts at kindergarten
By nine or ten their thinking’s been made ‘right’,
The rebels of yesteryear are gone
Generation-Y has given up without a fight.
‘Right thinking’ must be stopped at all costs
We cannot let it go on any longer,
Or free will shall grow ever weaker
As every day mind-control grows stronger.
THE END
