the mind a toy

to find it ripe
and young
and gullible
willing to believe every word

breaking down the difference
between right and wrong
good and evil
sanity and insanity

making the absurd normal
the weird desirable
the ugly beautiful

forcing it to chant
"my teachings are wise
my thoughts normal
my questions all wrong
I am becoming a better person"

soon it will be mine
all dandy and fine
years of work
of moulding it to perfection
ready for the world

a mind played with
such a lovely toy
pity it's too old

Now for the next toy
perhaps it should be a girl
