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. Peter Dome.copyright.2015. June.

You got it right Peter....there is a reason they call it an idiot box....the news is no longer news....it is a molding of our minds
