Up Or Down Stairs



Anyone fearing,
Their fictionalized way of life to live.
Based upon videos, movies.
TV cartoon characters.
And clowns portraying themselves,
As all-knowing privileged...
Business executives.
Feeling threatened of being stolen from them.
Is nuts.
Bona-fide out of the shell crazy.
To accept and believe,
Anything created from fantasy to make...
So visual to delude what is not true.
Yet to celebrate, defend and protect...
With weapons to use as an entitlement given.
Has got to be not all there.
Up or down stairs.
Or anywhere else near reality.
Incapable in their minds to separate,
A fiction that ends to begin...
Living their lives as grown men and women!
Having aware conscious common sense.
With a teaching their children,
The difference made to acknowledge as well.
And...
Should not be made afraid or feel threatened,
Of what has been put in their minds.
To believe is the truth about reality.
Yet...
With that said,
Many still will continue seeking to find...
To validate the fiction in their minds,
Anyway!
Even if this means a mission to create,
Their own enemies.
And that's life to live with entitlements,
To choose and refuse truth as is to be!
