Blindfolded
Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth
because they don’t want their illusions destroyed
Friedrich Nietzsche
(from the archives)
how nice it feels to give up your will
to be blindfolded and restrained
surrendered to someone else
what a shame that for the majority
this submission is the standard
obeying the rules of society
they make us feel safe and secure
and protected against danger
by sharpening their laws
they surrounded us with cameras
and became the all seeing eye
to check we don’t go astray
manipulating us into obedience
they brought us to our knees
obeying a crazy institution
they intoxicated us with their lies
and keep our brains sedated
changing us into robots
buying the charade of democracy
we are caught in a web of lies
being puppets on a string
chained by their money and power
we are captivated by their rules
blindfolded fools we became
it’s time to break down this system
raise our voice against the scam
and the illusion of freedom
it’s time to create an honest world
founded on truth and respect
where equality is the law
it’s time to break free from their will
make an end to all this madness
and let love and justice rule
because they don’t want their illusions destroyed

The madness has been raging through the Presidential campaign, but in a way it's just bs as usual. The symptoms of rampant hatred and fear are more pronounced but they are always there in our present system.
"it’s time to create an honest world
founded on truth and respect
where equality is the law"
That's a lofty and possibly quixotic goal but it's well worth working towards, see how far we get. I'm glad you're thinking in these terms, Duende. I wish more folks did.

Thank you so much for your extensive comment, Crowfly
There are more people (here) who think in the same terms and though I'm not American I'm well aware of the campaign and its madness... more observational poems will be released...
I had to look up quixotic (thanks for teaching me a new word) and as a self proclaimed anarchist hippie I will remain an idealist till the day I die :-)

I love the picture! Went so well with such a powerful poem.
"they surrounded us with cameras
and became the all seeing eye
to check we don’t go astray "
Loved those lines.
It's awesome ;-)

Great to hear you love the picture! Did you check the song?
I love the 'all seeing eye' myself as well... it covers so much more than the obvious...
Your words and your Awesome makes me smile :-D

Love and justice without blindfolds to restrain us, such powerful words, Duende, if only we could all hear and see them for what they are....

Great to hear you think in the same terms!
There will always be people who remain ignorant, but more and more people are becoming aware of what happens behind closed curtains!
I really appreciate your words!

Great to hear you like this one (this was the poem I mentioned in my comment on your Just All Around Fuckery) and that you love the picture as well :-)
Calling this an excellent spillage of warranted truth means so much to me as does including it in your reading list, thank you!!!

So much about your concept of truth n justice sounds like a dream... Becoming reality may not happen in our lifetime though... Excellent message to share with the world :)
