Infection
Humanity is
infected.
Infected with
malice.
Infected with
hate.
Infected
with fear!
Infected with
Ideas of
difference.
Thoughts of
exclusion.
We
come to
existence
the
same way.
Born with
clean slates.
Once born
infection occurs.
Clean slates
filled with
local thoughts,
local ideas.
Ideas of the
ancients.
Fear of
the other.
Fear of
the other
side of the
mountain,
other side
of the sea!
Ancient ideas
of fear and
exclusion.
Fear of the
others infection.
Clean slates
polluted with
archaic thoughts,
pitting one
against another.
Clean slates
soiled
with fear,
filled with
nonsense.
Clean slates
brainwashed,
infected,
controlled
by the
powers
of fear!
