Control activated in utero
Prejudices and mindless superstitions
Force-fed into the receptive vacuum
Of a birthed vessel
A mind lies in waste
Filled with mythical ether
Passed off as substance.
The earth was absent form and void
And by spoken words
Land and water
Were parted
Night and day
Were decreed
From dust and a rib
Man and woman
Were begat.
A mythical folklore
No different from the myriad others
Offered by the legions of tribes and races
That comprise mankind
To explain the origin of life
But supremacy gained
Through the force
Of guns and wiles
Others are condemned
To the infamy of paganism
And the one
Is ascribed
The totem of eternal truth
The complex engineering of the universe
Is ascribed
To a god created by man
A mind of unfathomable intelligence
Is assuaged only
By primordial rituals
Of blood and gore
And mercantile offerings
Of jewelry and silken finery
The diverse brotherhood of mankind
Is attributed
To the ménage a trois
Of man woman and serpent
In a garden
Where the omniscient
Engaged our progenitors
In a game of hide and seek
Moral precepts
Are built around sexual taboos
Even when mankind
By their tales
Is a continuing orgy
Of incest.
I struggle to break free
From these unseen chains
Slowly dawn approaches
To overwhelm
The dusk of mind control
As I awaken to consciousness
I believe in the existence
Of the omniscient
But not in the form
created by man
I seek his essence
His precepts are etched in my being
And not in the scribblings
Of men who seek to control
The mind gifted to us
To reason with
Everyday is a rebirth
Because I took the red pill.
(Inspired by the movie “The Matrix”)
Great insights and perception of nature..
I like the imagery and narration..write on!
Nice one indeed.
Unremarkable.
What red pill anyway.
