In reality, you are pushed to live with illusion. You are never encouraged to ponder about, and understand, reality. Consequently, illusion becomes your only reality. Your education, media, and gossip areĀ full of trite memes, sustained and strengthened by illusion. For it’s only in illusion that the unreal can be sold: peace, equality, freedom and growth for all. Any by buying in, you contribute to the continuity of that illusion.

you want me, at all hours, to
cringe to your drumbeat
give in to a sagging spine
be hushed and whooshed off
when your convoy passes by
lick your boots so neat
when you trample and whack
thank the blade hasn’t slain
be unabashedly loyal
and proud of my servitude
you, wily wolf, want me to
slit my brother’s flesh
pay for your bread and meats
and when my home burns to ashes
pray you and curse my fate
and how well do i do this
– for the plaque, a fake,
that reads ‘good citizen’ –
verily like a wagging dog
more screwed than a pavlovian!
