We are conditioned to fantasize truths, <br />And animate hatred as a form of entertainment! <br />Then we find ways to medicate ourselves... <br />To flee from realities haunting with nightmares. <br />Blaming others for not accepting a way of life, <br />That disturbs those who gather seeking peace. <br />Creating conflicts to implement this disease... <br />That creeps from a birth that leads to division, <br />Without remorse or self reflection! <br />With fears that 'enemies' threaten this mental illiness! <br />And peace is marketed to maim and weaken... <br />Using high tech weapons to kill and eliminate, <br />Opposing points of view that challenge with alternatives <br />That seek to please needs... <br />Without the bleeding of blood tasted, <br />Fed and addicting to those who are teased... <br />To cross these borders illegally to feed, <br />And digest!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
