Lost
Vacant
Dispossessed
Logical thought
Vaguely remembered
Gift of humanity
Discarded for trivia
Feed them on vile vacuities
Fiction calls itself reality
Filling the void of imagination
Media-created zombies slumber
Wide-eyed and awake before the screen
Vicariously satisfied
Their debasement of idols
Unconscious cruelty
Or ‘entertainment’
All unaware
Of the price
Victims
Pay
Double etheree for Colleen’s poetry challenge

I wonder if we, as a species, have always been susceptible to such ‘opiates’ of whatever form they may take, or is it just this modern era where we are so constantly assaulted that we must find numbness in order to continue?

I wonder how much that susceptibilty might be a useful tool for ‘shepherding’ the populace too
