Just write what they want to read
Show them what they want to see
It will pay off only if you concede
No one is interested in complexity
And most stay far from conspiracy
For they fear it gets them misery
Just comply with the conditioning
Of the general public’s awareness
It's utterly mad to start tinkering
With a new idea or thought unless
The settings leave no other choice
But to abandon the calm and poise
The brainwashing and propaganda
Of the USSR, the west so despised
Belonged to the communist agenda
Which today is commonly surmised
But the public here is no different
Bowing to utterly insane abetment
Just write about love and daisies
Any mind fart is good inspiration
So create and publish anthologies
That are an insult to imagination
Unless you are craving to make it
Or because you just can’t fake it

As always, you get straight to the point ...
and do not beat about the bush. Perhaps I am getting old(er) and more tolerant to let people be as they choose to be.
I think you will forever be the Warrior, Poet, cutting to the bone ...
Personally I strive to write my heart, no matter what others think about content/structure. And, as you know, I encourage poets to write and to publish, so that their voice may be heard. As you do!
Thank you for reminding me where my loyalty should be, Friend.
Love

Heh
That's how I feel about most of my own poetry. I write about anything I can think about sometimes... but I never concider it inspiration.
This is a rather serious piece, can't say I was expecting that based on the title. You wrote a very strong piece here, I like it.

an honest reflection, quite bitter and i think your use of words reflects your annoyance well. emotive and appropriate.

Not bitter, but cynical. There is a linguistic distinction.

hearts and minds of people to really think!!!

yeah there is a lot of truth to this, i hated it lol only joking it was really good, thought provoking
-
Another great write, the last stanza did it for me
it was seriously the best, the truth in this... Oh Wow...
-
i love it... which i love anything that is not "politically correct" and speaks the truth. But i myself, find that i write come cliche's stuff about love and depression...but that is how i really feel and i think that a lot of poets feel the same way and use poetry for their own theropy....
i dont fake it...i enjoy it to much to want to fake it.
great write!!

Beautiful
"Just comply with the conditioning" , "it's utterly mad to start thinking" my God there have been no truer words spoken to describe a mainstream society that have been conditioned to behave like cattle awaiting their day to be slaughtered. Somehow this is accepted as freedom which is a sad statement to the mental tranquility we as a society have come to accept. I love these words and they should serve as a wake up call!

Yoohoo!
My darling Chris, you nailed this right in the bull's eye! Indeed, the world in desperation and utter panic wants to hear or read only what feels good while attacking those who speak and write what they need to hear. Another exceptionally well-phrased write by my precious brother! It should be in a contest; since it is not, I award it GOLD, GOLD, GOLD!
Much love & hugs, SisBon
