Zombies

Most of the masses are gullible they swallow what their fed.
They feed on exotic canards, prejudice and fibs. Alcohols
Imbibed to dull the aftertaste and nothing goes to waste.
From birth to death it never changes each robbed of true identity
By unseen malevolent minds who sow these seeds of animosity,
Enmity and lies; all poisoned zombies (the living dead) who
Roam the earth mindlessly in numbers that are mind-boggling
To those of us still left. We often watch and hear their rants-
Dissonance of ad-libbed, ad nauseam and pledging of dead hearts
While humming individual anthems ad infinitum plus a day.

                                   Follow what we say
                                   Never, ever as we do
                                   That’s our golden rule.

The haiku was not meant to be true but in the world that I depicted above it is the golden rule.
