They only see what they want to see
They only hear what they want to hear
The cold, harsh reality scares them
They pretend it's only in their heads
They pretend it's only a dream
And the people who see the world as it truly is
Not the mindless clones, the real people
The ones who see between the lines
Through the lies created for false security...
Are dead...

Sometimes it's tough to face reality. I do like to believe that most people are looking to take in reality as much as possible, at the pace that they can handle.

Thank You!!
Thank You for Your entry: Blind is Society
This piece tugged hard at Spirit and while I was reading which I did several times~ I kept being shown a field but it was like a field of corn...yet the corn was absent...the plants looked dead- as if severely dehydrated For some reason being shown underneath the ground as if a tunnet was built- for *survivors*...
Wild but there is a reference to Pesticides- but seeing men in protective gear- spraying and then setting on fire Hearing words: Hide their tracks~ getting word: marijuana- but also word: government...this was a super drug- enhanced apparently I am being shown- medicinal purposes but Mind altering-stimulant- where the consumer would just *lose it* After reading Your words- I'm being shown pots also pans- but the bottom of them- phrase: flame retardent- also for some reasong given word: polyutherine..whether metaphor or symbolism-
Hopefully that makes some sense
Powerful images You have brought forth
These words grabbed and pulled~
The ones who see between the lines
Through the lies created for false security...
Are dead...
Unique Voice spoken~
Thank You for sharing Your Heart also Spirit!
Best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
**Judging will be done shortly...
Many blessings too
and much love & light~ Desire~*~

wow, I do not know what to say, but you're welcome and thank you for reviewing! ^^
That was a lot to take in and I will understand it more later, but you have given me something more to think about as I think I have done the same for you in this poem. ^^

Oh i hope not I guess i still hold out hope for humanity and the greed of mankind to rise above....do like the raw attitude of this piece...telling it like it is no holding back ... perhaps we can look at where we are going and not from beyond this life. Excellent take on the prompt....great read thank you ...Good luck in the contest.
