Taken In

when the desperation of the current state of social disintegration rotting in the belly of the empire & spreading throughout the world without relenting, but with a demanding force to suck out every last drop of life before the drained corpse becomes annihilated by fire or beat into brainwashed submission, large hopeful eyes (for it’s said that hope is the last thing to go) will fall upon the walk of a wo/man whose smile & mannerisms, whose gravitas has not yet fully been comprehended & they will glow like a firefly coasting in the darkening night--- they will glow with thoughtless, naïve anticipation, in the waiting for all the worry to go away, because this wo/man will appear to have fresh clean answers to questions that have stumped the ages & the ability to trump even the most rigorous skeptics, so that the will of one person becomes the black hole that swallows the rest of those round them into blind submission & the ability to do absolutely anything in order to preserve that initial high, that initial unexplainable aura which they experienced in want of a ticket to bliss & real change in the here & now, after walking down a long path with him/her from which there is no return & to which only the travesty of cult & the horrific events that inevitably follow, occur.
