Delusional and Substance Free



Tactless, factless.
Delusional and substance free.
Supporters of conflicts.
Endorsing wars to ignite.
Throughout their weapon creating history.
While protecting effectively,
The keeping of a pledge to their barbaric...
Ancestry.
With a doing to believe themselves to be...
Rulers of the Universe.
Yet...
Mentally sickened with a desperate need,
To eliminate truth and its reality...
From a fiction that worships,
Destruction.
Division.
And threats reminding them,
Of what and who they are to see.
Clear and vivid in high definition to represent!

'Your observations,
Are unbelievably cynical, distorted.
Groundless, exaggerated and demented.'

'Exactly.
I agree.
Then it happened.'

'What?'

'I misplaced my rose colored glasses.
And I could not believe my lieing eyes.'

'So...
What next did you do?'

'I refused to accept and believe,
The cost and expense...
To have my glasses replaced.
Without it guaranteed,
That everything I deluded to fiction...
And discovered to be substance free,
I could have back to again ignored...
The facts of life some said existed.
And others would say were rumors the elite,
Kept purposely to spread on the streets.
Just to keep many thriving on the hope,
High taxes passed will pay for their dreams.'
