Brainwashed

Posted on 05/23/2025 by admin

Ingratiate that part of yourself,
Sell that bleeding battered soul.
Remember they’re only trying to ‘help’
To bring you into the fold.
Be the silent ticking cog,
Work in the grinding machine
Obfuscate reality into a smog
Murder all your dreams.
Listen repeatedly to their lies
Laced with madness and the dark
Your individuality has been compromised
As they brand you with their mark.
Politics making society blind and meek
Brainwashed in hate as you turn the cheek

This a poem about who the far right are resurgent and people are falling for their sham politics of hate.
