New Age Chemical Warfare

Memory, oh sweet memory, Lost in dizziness, but found. Excite my brain to joyfulness. Pain is sometimes lethal. Memory loss is just one warning sign of this war. Add to that: headaches, depression, oh, the mental pain. Numbness, insomnia, heart palpations, and more, begin slowly. From whence comes your sweet deception? My bones ache and I cannot breath in life's memory. Lost in my own fantasy with dizziness. Imagining a chemical warfare against the masses. Common folks like you and me but subjugated peons. Mushy brains found among the young and innocent thin. Excite my brain with your pondering, my muse. To you, I owe this mysterious inkling. A powerful infiltration, a plan concocted by the enemy. Chemical warfare on the home front, disguised as pleasure. Marketed among the unsuspecting – Aspertine is thy name oh great deceiver In the name of sweetness, mental acuity dies. Freely given to the soldiers in Desert Storm, diet soda! The Plan: Conquer a great nation from within. Infiltrate every aspect of life in a well-laid plan. Thus, food and drink may lead to a nation's folly. Slowly slipping away our freedom to be US. Quietly. Unobtrusively. Ingeniously. Irreversibly! Joyfulness, visit me; remove this pain for it is great. Chemical warfare kills. Sometimes, we close our eyes. But we must not. Lest it becomes lethal to our free nation – © March 17, 2012 Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Written for Poetry Soup Member Contest: Et cetera Free Poetry Sponsor: Debbie Guzzi RELATED LINK: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/11/06/aspartame- most-dangerous-substance-added-to-food.aspx
