Dogma2

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Oct 18, 2023 

Dogma.
Minds
shackled.
Fixed.
Trained
to perform,
understand,
obey.
Vice
grip
hold.
Religion.
Politics.
Narratives
downloaded,
installed.
Shaping.
Minions
created.
Mindless
followers.
Locally
transfixed.
Powers
that be
mind tweaks.
Critical
thinking.
Nullified.
Not allowed.
Do what’s
told.
Master’s
fine
tuning.
Whirring,
blending.
Mixing,
messing.
Mind
altering.
Moving
dial.
Controlled.
Moving
mountains.
Everything!
Confusion
reigns.
Armies
marching.
What
is truth?
Tumultuous.
Spun to
confusion,
uncertainty.
Critical
thinking,
original
thought.
Canceled.
