Indoctrinated

I was doctored Before I was sick Getting ahead of disease Is the trick ...to being I was wrong Before I was right Placed in between Evil and light ...to struggle I was cursed Before I was blessed Redemption needed To enter rest ...as a baby I was rescued Before I was bound Pleasures denied Just as they were found ...in hope Punishment a promise Before reward was offered All I could ever desire Sacrificed on an altar ...of an AWFUL god TRUTH appeared............ Now, WHAT????? Written by Trudy Schrader on 07/26/2020 Note: Growing up in any society, we are taught WHAT to believe rather than how to think and how to process information. I think about Jim Jones, David Koresh and others who were obviously, mentally ill, but so were their followers, so easily indoctrinated. Why is it so easy for us to swallow, hook, line and sinker, belief systems based in punishment and reward rather than the TRUTH...God means to enjoy us? May we all come to know Daddy God as LOVE, because that is His name.
