Reducing Knowledge

Insisting one might was well be dead
Feasting upon dark emotional words
This is how the young have been led
Magnetic this compass for the birds
Signal sent be that of infrared 
Drawing them all in by the herds
This be part of their pseudoscience 
By misusing the cognitive science

This truth and darkness and you wrote it perfectly. Its a shame your poem turned out so well for it only shows the real decay of society.

A chilling albeit truthful poem, Steven. Your insights are so keen, your expressions are sparse w/laser focusing. The unerring mark of a spot-on poet. Great ottava rima. Love and peace to you.

Steven, very good Ottava rima.. why is my question would anyone young or old want to pass... I know the way of life is hard for many but having faith does help to some. My heart aches when I hear a young person still in college with scholarships would want to end what the future might bring ( one example) Thank you for my first place in the contest I felted very honored.
