A Little Bit Of This



A little bit of this.
And some of that added into the mix.
Pretentiousness,
Is just another exclusively kept entitlement.
Recognized for what it is.
And once recognition becomes an addiction,
To obtain attention and fame to get?
Forever lost never to find,
Is respect to give and tolerance given.

Who is not taught,
Money and greed lifts feet that use to be...
Close to the ground and thought cemented.
Yet...
Apparently not that close to consciousness.
With common sense.
Or truth produced to identify reality.
Taken. Erased. And gone it is.
As if awaiting for laws to pass,
By sociopathic anointed authorities.
Hoping,
Their hypocritical criticisms...
Gets approval of their recommendations,
To tar and feather anyone regardless...
Of their race, skin color.
Religious or political affiliation.
Who may attempt to escape away,
From the gates of denial.
Scented with mint and fictioned to delude,
A mindset sickened by grandeur.
And self importance.
Along with remembered fantasies,
Delivered by tooth fairies.

'This...
This picture you depict,
Is nothing more than insane madness.
Lived by people incapable to acknowledge,
Or admit...
They have permitted their own way of life,
Restricted by mental fences.
And limited to defend,
An ignorance protected by any means.
Any means determined necessary.'

'Rituals seem always created,
To celebrate something...
That keeps folks spending billions of dollars,
Seeking for intelligent life forms...
Light years away in an endless space.
Without proven boundaries.
Or an UP nor down, left or right.'

'What does it all mean?'

'Many folks are determined,
To benefit and profit...
From a repetitive stupidity,
So far only found on Earth.
With an abundance of evidence,
Historically to prove who the fools are.'

'We all continue to make ourselves fools.'

'And...
I hope you're not expecting a prize,
For being conscious and aware of it!'
