Crude

As I age it all becomes so impossibly crude.
So amateur and unbeguiling is this clumsy
Manipulation I am being imbued with...
It seems as if everyone is sleeping away.

Call me jaded and mistaken or old mooded..
How have we become so unresponsive ?
Dumbed down by reality driven oligarchs
Are we unable to awaken to the corrupt
Hands around our throats?
Not one part of life outside of ourselves
Today is real...merely crude...
With missiles no-one despises enough.

Something that must be cried out over and over as we slowly return to the tree,the bush,and the banana.

The dumbing down has been an evolutionary process. The science of persuasion has been collecting data for a good long time and now they can lead us to water, and make us drink, while we believe it was our own decision. Those of us who speak up are quickly marginalized as conspiracy theorists.
I ain't going out no more, and ain't nothing with less than four legs allowed in!! ;-)
