A Live, Vile Evil Veil
He done lost his mind
With anger in his heart
And hatred in his spirit
He’s foaming at the mouth
Yelling at the top of his lungs
Screaming from his bedroom window
Because he wants the whole world to hear his voice
He’s got this unhealthy obsession
With repeating certain key words over and over again
Brainwashed…maybe
Indoctrinated…perhaps
Programmed to follow his idyllic leader to the grave
But that’s what the world has turned into
It’s an ugly sinister atmosphere
As if covered by a live, vile evil veil
As the rants of a madman
In the death throes of conscience
Eats away at his soul

Dear W,
For me, this poem has long reaching thought fingers, as I can apply this to every unkind person I know and “know of”. This makes me think how fragile the human mind is to be overrun and bamboozled so easily with just the right language. Such a relevant piece for all times. H🌷

Honoria,
Thanks for the RL and yes, it's still amazes me of how easily one can down the rabbit hole and be changed. There is no reasoning with folks like this, so how can one converse with them if their reality is changed?
