Controlling minds

by Dagmar Wilson   Feb 2, 2016


I've been stirring around
this crowd of false pretense,
spitting out their words
covered in layers of sugar.

Their smile was so bright
you couldn't see the eyes,
manipulation was dictating their minds.

This string of corruption
trying to frame my fragile view,
took me to a place rebuilding my trust.

    Nice write Dag, because of the masks many of us wear it's difficult to see who is really under there, pull it off and many would flee but sometimes a real person is there to see!
    Liked the line where the eyes could not be seen. I remember when I was young and was asked why I always smiled when I really did not want to, that mask was pulled off and rightly so. Great poem-nominated!

    What a sad piece. It's a shame that so many people put on a false front, pretending to be something they aren't.
    Great job!
    Take care

    Well written. Very interesting topic indeed. It is very sad how much some people wear layers on them and how difficult it has become to find true purity in this World. This poem makes sense to me. :-)
