This world is broken

We are all broken

So many do not know they are broken

So many more don't know why they are broken

Satan is represented EVERYWHERE- products, signs, conversations overheard, movies, tv, books, SCHOOLS

People say we are becoming a more tolerant society. The reality is we are becoming more watered-down... clones... lemmings... zombies. We are not only letting evil take us over, we are welcoming it in.

We use phones, TVs, cars, and computers that-in reality- are actually using us. PS: GPS is not for OUR benefit.

I saw an experiment where people were offered 10oz bar of silver (approx $180) or a bar of chocolate. Everyone chose the chocolate. Most said it was because they have no use for silver. They obviously don't know silver's monetary value. That is learned. The system wants us to play their fiat currency game because if we quit, the stakeholders lose. PS: YOU are not a stakeholder.

We let our children be influenced by stars and films which preach the validity of magic and ignore or ridicule God. Even reality TV is just indoctrination. PS: Big Brother, with the TV cameras in the apartment, is actually happening in London. But it's now "minimizing your footprint".

We sell ourselves and our children on Facebook... trading all of our privacy for a tiny bit of mediocre socializing. PS: Facebook is not a service to *us*, it is a marketing tool, like Common Core.

We send our kids to government-run fishbowls called schools where they learn that good is bad, bad is good, right is wrong, and wrong is right. They learn about sex, sexuality, Humanism, being offended, helplessness, hopelessness, and "equality". Yet, they cannot read. PS: this "equality" that's pushed is not really about race or economics; it means everybody aspires to the lowest common denominator.

Our schools don't want to "offend" anyone... so, all books are void of anything except dinosaurs, monsters, aliens, and talking animals.... because none are overtly "religious"... PS: They are religious (refer back to- "so many more don't know why they are broken")

So many don't know why they are broken.

So many do not know they are broken.

We are all broken.

This world is broken.

An underground corridor

With cold cement walls

Extremities kept warm

By tin fires and needles

The mattress is saturated

With her crusted hard history

And she lets him call her "Rose"

At a discounted price

There are group-people

and there is me. I'm

cynical about the motivations

of people who will bend

their values to keep

the boat from rocking

I'm not one to join the mass.

I'm with Groucho.... if a group

wants me, I probably don't

want any part of it. It's not

anti-social, it's anti-conformity.

What happens, in a group,

when you dare have a

different opinion? You're

beaten back to reality with

stink-eyes and gossip warfare. Clandestine missions to

bring you to your

group-think senses.

I stand on the outside,

longing to be in...

but, knowing

once I'm there

I'll only want to escape

the prison of sameness.

There are group-people

and there is

Me.

Perfection is an

elixir

for fear

A cloak to

shroud flaws

Holding up a one-way mirror

allows reflection of

shared-defects

onto the patsy on the

wrong side

Even glass is imperfect,

"one-way" - an approximation...

On the "right" side, the

coward's inescapable reflection

persists

Burn it down and bleed it out

because nobody's listening.

I run away, by myself

waiting for the end.

I've given up and I am numb

looking for somewhere I belong,

a place for my head on roads untraveled

that make me hit the floor.

I'm lost in the echoes within a

castle of glass and shadows of the day

leave me crawling on hands and knees

from skin to bone until I faint

and there's nothing left me ....
