Notes About The Poem

The Naked Truth

Was it something in the water
Or something in the air
A mind poison atomized and aerosolized 
Digitized and publicized to spread
A mass psychosis 
In every way to every one
Until most didn’t even know
They were infected and super-spreaders
Themselves in their schools and churches
Homes and work places.

Spreading the lie of disorder
To the young and innocent
The lie you can become a boy 
If you are a girl,
Or a girl if you are a boy
And want to beat them at their own game
Or parade your diseased mind
In front of them in their locker rooms.

Teachers now obsessed with sex
In years as young as pre-school
Teaching what they have no business
Even mentioning and distorting
Their student’s minds and bodies forever.

Kids need to be kids after all
To discover the joys
And confusions of life on their own
In their own way, in their own time.
And adults need to be adult
In understanding and expressing
Their own joys and confusions.

Wherever this contagion came from
It is here now, sometimes all we hear,
A world turned upside down
Where insanity is held up as hip
Courageous and brave
Pride they say as they parade it in your face
Drag it out in front
For everyone to see
For everyone to celebrate
Or else…

And still the small child watches as it passes
Passes for sane and ordinary
While he knows
Without a doubt
There is no royal gown  
Around the naked truth.

They come for the children first
As they are the weakest link,
And one most likely to call a spade a spade,
But their aim is for your mind and body too.
When we have lost all sense of up and down
Good and bad, healthy and sick
Then there is no objective truth
Just feelings and points of view.
And if they can get you to doubt 
Something as fundamental as biological sex
Then they can get you to doubt
And accept anything else
Or else…

James Moore October 4, 2026 at 9:49 AM What bothers me is how (today being Sunday) spiritual teachers of all religions will tell their students the traditional lessons of wisdom and compassion, what we should aspire to in an idealized world, but avoid talking about the mind contagion manifesting in the current world, passing for normal, with their omission of this truth just strengthening the mass delusion….
