A poem
From the mouth of the delta
information sediments
deposits of propaganda
governmental impediments
media for the masses
a sensory invasion
eroding our free will
by cognitive abrasion
contaminated
parasitic organisms
grow and spread
deep in the cerebrum
where they mutate
and imbed
which silences the brain
as the hosts
obligingly guzzle
bleating in acceptance
mirrored murmurs
from the muzzle
whilst the sheep slurp the rivers
which control how they think
the horse is lead to water
but can’t be made to drink
feel the gallop of hooves
on your sentient plain
mental muscles rise up
as you throw off your reign
exhale
with the breath of wild horses
empty your lungs
inhale the clarity
smell the stench of lies
as they slide off the tongue
of people
politicians
media sources
who push their agenda
and expect you to drink
out the hands of the vendor
spend some more time in thought
use your freedom of choice
be empowered to say neigh
with your authentic voice
however
please
don’t merely follow my word
i’m just another opinion
form your own views
roam free
over your own dominion
but
if you climb on your high horse
turn up nose
and scoff
you will hear my authentic voice
telling you to… buck off!
