not really liking this title functionConvicted Convictions I have lived in this world long enough to learn That people are only interested in changing others opinions Like facts no longer matter And conviction is some ancient relic Long since lost to the modernity of half truths sold at wholesale prices In search for deeper meaning My conscience mockingly suggested that I Google Discourse has been downsized to a tweet And I am afraid that anything longer and people won’t be able to follow. not quite sure which is worse, An illiterate society or one which fails to comprehend So addicted to high fructose corn syrup That consuming anything without additives is akin to some form of cruelty So in comes sweet & low, Splenda, Saccharine, sorbitol, and a whole host of substitutes there is so many one is left to question the sincerity of anyone’s kindness altruism was jilted at the altar left for ulterior motives humanity walks the earth wounded in search of divine closure praying to a deity while preying upon one another In warped worlds greed approximates survival as cities are the crown jewels of a bankrupt civilization fear is considered healthy when prescribed in appropriate doses and even if such prescribed rhetoric were believable it is more likely that this nation over-medicates in the same manner that it overeats cause its zeitgeist dictates that there is never enough Demeanor, Typically reckless Something about the combination of idle minds and too much time That causes people to rhyme without reason So we begin nodding our heads and gyrating our hips to this societal cacophony Screaming encore for auto-tunes Because our ears have forgotten the meaning of harmony Thus Justice
and the discord she wields in her sword and scale is all we have left Piece and blessings
