Because Of What They've Heard



Because of what they've heard.
People are less to think.
Or hear what is said to deeply sink.
In their minds.
Left searching for their purpose.
On the surface close to be found.

People these days are afraid to think.
From fearing pain.
And the truth of reality.
People these days are afraid to think.
And made to believe their thinking stinks.

People rather lie and deceive.
To choose not to offend.
The ones who live to pretend.
People,
Rather lie and deceive.
To the ones kept deluded and fictioned.

Dense.
With no common sense.
Are the ones left fictioned.
And publicly  defending,
Their right to pretend.

Because of what they've heard.
It is...
Because of what they've heard.
It's,
Because of what they've heard.
Has more value to them than truth.
