My Shadows

Hello Redditt
There I said it 
Now I have people who follow
The wisdom of a diseased mind they swallow 
I feel like a mini cult leader 
Shaping their minds 
Like a twister brain breeder 
I shall not lead them astray 
Yet shape their thoughts for the day 
It is the only way I can say 
Thank you 
For participating in this game, we all play 
Of the digital broth 
We all eagerly drink 
To mold our views of how we think 
To form their view of this daily spew 
Of how the world is on the brink 
Fear not my tiny flock 
I shall not waste your time on the clock 
Yet tell you what it is you need to see 
Before your no longer here to be 
Of things that are important to me 
That our commonality is the key 
To coexist in this binary world 
Of which we are all unwillingly hurled 
To be bred, fed and left for dead 
I welcome you all to this little group of the well said
I promise to keep you in the loop 
And well fed with cerebral soup 
To keep you thinking and questioning why 
And open your eyes 
Before you die 
It is with this hope 
That I try 
To open your mind and help you fly 
Time to go 
Bye bye

Eric (and sometimes not)
