Because Someone Said It

A person once said it has always  Been that way Creating an illusion Down here confusion on Earth and Fueling the emotion Going  with blind devotion Hovering on a rift Imagination adrift Just because one read it Killing our thoughts of who said it Luring us into blindly following More insanity and wallowing Never to think on our own Opting to live as a drone Pouring out empty phrases Quarreling through the ages Recesses of our mind Simply being blind because Those who said it also Understood our pettiness and Verified our weaknesses Watched their will seeping where Xanax will be the answer because of Yellers ceaseless banter Zzzs are all that’s left to say. © Deborah Kelly Aug 2021
