Allegorical Confusion

Looking at "The Allegory of the Cave" from a poetic angle and a today viewing.

I was thunk-en with my thinker

About the state that we are in

Nations divided

By the greed the consumes men.

Then the lights, they came on

That led me to believe

That we've always been divided

By some sort of Creed.

So I thunk-ed some more

And came to the conclusion

We see what is familiar

Even dilution

Made up by some

Who want us to follow

The shadows they make

And their sounds, oh so hollow.

Where is it we dwell?

"The Allegory of the Cave"

Each captured group

Slave after slave

Prisoners of our eyes

And the things that we hear

Echo-chambers and dilutions

Spoon fed by fear.

But when blinded by reality

(Things out of our view)

We stay where it's safe

Where no shadow is new

Where all that's required

Is to stay in our cave

Listening to the echos

Meant for a slave.

Yes, we hide behind the TV. Hide in the TV and soundbytes fracture our view, from inside the tube. Or, I should say, those ostriches that want to keep their head in the sand do. The rest of us have to wear earmuffs to drown out the babble from the fringe. And it sucks that the loud are who are heard. Luckily the majority do discern. We'd be living in chaos if not.

Very True, William. --- However, it is no wonder people are likened to sheep. --- Fun facts to look up: Do you know why sheep pins are round? & Do ostriches really stick their heads underground, or just lay them flat on the surface?
