The Wholesomeness Of It Consumed



The wholesomeness side of life lived,
More to fiction it given...
Attention to mention.
Fantasized and advertised.
Appetized and consumed.
In books, magazines, movies and TVs.
Depending upon demographics crazed.
To heighten and capture...
Their senses to imitate and in minds,
Finding it easier to escape from reality.
And truth to replace to envision,
The destructive possibilities that may...
Come to occur to undo the comfort,
Of their isolated unused consciousness.

Yet...
Truth to face as is to be.
Many demand the reality of life.
Censored in ways to remove,
The pain this may cause to their children.
And many adults too.
Since these days it is being claimed,
The wholesomeness of pretentiousness...
Has begun to fade away.
Around the clock nonstop.
Although watched from distances.
Assumed forever protected to avoid.

And...
Is the cause and reason threatening,
The charading to masquerade a life lived...
For centuries and decades.
With this discovery to have,
A damaging effect...
On the mental health of people addicted,
Faithfully.
However, not them.
To delude decadence, crimes to commit.
Deception, fraud, lawlessness.
With attempts to corrupt justice.
And could not be,
A true reflection of who they are to be!

But...
Has been the intention of nonconformists.
To have them suffering.
Under a smothering of truthful LIES.
They'd rather not accept as is to believe!
