Analysis of Shown Known As Is



What has been shown known as is,
Should be after centuries and years...
Believed to see, witness and observe,
To be an agenda.
Implemented in cemented display of it.

Those on their knees,
Praying to see a validation of changes made?
May consider,
Re-evaluating...
Why and for what reason and purpose,
They expect others to do the changing.
When repeated messages they have received,
Are clearly messages sent to them...
As what is needed to be done.

And this takes reality to face.
Fiction to delude to erase from their minds.
With a finding another approach,
To prove and make it known to show...
Respect to have for themselves first.
And an identity shown to make known,
A getting up off their knees...
Using their faith and belief,
They can do this...
Without begging for assistance.
Or awaiting for approval and acceptance,
From those who have repeatedly shown...
An addiction to get attention to love it.
By the ones also addicted to being ignored.

'What are you saying?'

'If I said nothing at all,
What difference would the act of it make?'

'Act?
What act?'

'The act of a habit gone unnoticed to accept!'

'What sense does that make?'

'None at all.
To the pusher or the addict.
Both are equally dependent on each other!
Like...
Well,
Racism, bigotry, conflict and division.
As long as it is in demand.
And there is a supply of it?
Who or what is it left that benefits,
If gone to miss?'

'That...
Has yet to happen.'

'Exactly!
Once a dog becomes familiar with a routine,
It has to adapt and adjust...
To something else taught to teach.
The process maybe slow.
But so do new lessons to learn them.'

'Your analogy?
I don't understand at all.'
