Guilt Trip



Many deciding,
To stay on the right side of truth.
Are made to feel a guilt.
For what they have chosen to do.

And...
Refuse to be persuaded,
This choice to make is unpatriotic.
Failing to keep their pledges made.
To love, honor and obey.
Regardless of what the truth may be.
Interpreted by the ones,
Claiming themselves to be victims...
Of their fictioned lives,
That keeps them safely to delude...
Wrongs they have committed.
And lies approved.
Lies...
Slowly being removed from their minds.
Preventing them to choose,
What they have always known to be...
Fantasized.
To enjoyed and it found it loved.
As a way of life to live.
Keeping the believers of truth,
The ones despised and publicly criticized.

And now these days,
We are forced to believe...
OUR reality,
Has been intentionally made...
To have US to believe,
Their hypocritical ways are accepted.
Normal and not crazed.

But who are they,
To judge us as being the ones crazed?
When those sitting in leadership positions,
Have proven themselves to be the ones...
Found guilty of everything they've ever done.
Without remorse or guilt to feel.
And yet...
We are made to believe what they say.
When it is too obvious to witness,
Who it is...
Supporting to endorse and follow,
Those mentally twisted.
And the evidence presented,
Proves they are not pretending their guilt of it!
