Change Your Mind
Chapter books give glimpses of
Happy days and better times.
Answers are not provided, only
Negligent promises of far-flung majesty and
Grand illusion to poison the heart and
Eat away at the soul.
Yesterday is portrayed as an
Opulent image of fanciful falsehoods and
Unruly heroes conquering the status quo and
Rescuing the individuality we hold so dear.
Maybe someday we all will look past this lofty
Illustration and see the harsh truth that
Needs to be understood before
Destruction breeds complacency and devours the fighter within us all.
