Peter Dome Poet Free verse

Clipped and Brainwashed

Fluid soft moist and gentle
Drops of water over time
Can dissolve and wear away
The hardest rock to fade 
And decay.

Just as an acid damning tongue
That derives pleasure
From causing emotional pain
And robbing  a sensitive soul
If self esteem confidence
And living a fruitful life
Holding them back again and again.

Young minds are fertile
And can believe everything they are told
Burning self hate and apathy
In heart mind and soul.

Like a Bonzi tree with restricted growth
The control freak clips away
At the helpless
Brain washed In disarray.

Propaganda be the deadliest  weapon.
Known to man
It can bring down a nation
Like the Nazi's did
Fulling hate
Or build a nation up
and make that nation great.

The box we have in all our homes
That we waych
Gives us subliminal messages
While in a semi hypnotic state 
Be careful what you watch today
And may your heart be full of love and not hate.

And so tour children.
