Discursive

by Patrick Watson   Oct 28, 2022




you see what you want to see!
your spin dictates your narrative
your eyes cannot see the real situation
your personal history! impregnates your objectivity

truth, a myth?
history written by the victor
it’s always been that way
so, what we have is the ‘curriculum’ of fake news

its wrapped up in a silky slipper
softeners to comfort death
teach humanity to bear the pian of reality
“it’s a con job”

planks and nails, basic science on hold?
raising the dead?
heaven and hell, God, and a devil
cast into eternal hell, or reaching eternal bliss
judgement day; without basic facts to hand?
we are cast into this role without consultation
I say we are human there can be little doubt
and that ticks the box as to why
we are drawn to the dark side of human nature
it’s a little more exciting than goodie two shoes
mundane sucks
