Killing Curiosity



Killing curiosity.
With a censoring of adventure.
And the growth process,
Of progress that relies...
On imagination to discover,
The introduction of beneficial possibilities.
This attempt to re-invent,
An acceptable way to move humanity forward.
Without offending those defending,
Their right to delude and fiction...
A non-existent reality to enforce,
As a way of life...
Witnessed these days in crisis.
Maybe supported to be normal at its best.
However...
This direction to manifest,
Civil unrest and accepted mental dysfunction?
Has few observing this threatening B.S.
Hoping with wishes to want more leaders,
Proving themselves to know nothing else...
But conflicts to start, division to implement.
And racism...
To choose as the cause and reason,
To claim and blame diversity...
For the miserable choices they have made,
To sell their souls indebted to things...
They regret and yet find this excuse to make!
Putting to death common sense unused!
