Ignorance, Superstition, & Fear: Key Powers of Governments & Religions

The idioms, "Things are not always as they seem," and "there's more here than meets the eye," assuredly do apply to our world and society of today: e.g.: Ukraine, Yemen, Middle East ...

Ignorance, Superstition, & Fear:

Key Powers of Governments & Religions

When ignorance, superstition, and fear,

are cultivated, fertilized, and reared,

within furrowed minds, of men as Man,

'tis never a surprise, to so easily find,

that those farmers, of minds -- have a plan.

On another candid note, of further addition,

it is said that insurrection, is a form of sedition,

whilst logic and reason, are a mind's nutrition.

Hence, I shall continue, with your permission:

It is said that one, is that which he eats,

whether scrounged as scraps, or a meal replete

whether harvested from land, air, or sea.

How much more so, could it truly ever be,

that one is also that, which one does think?

A man is exactly that, which his mind drinks,

or is fed, as taught and learned, mind's fodder.

Convictions are beliefs, that lead men to slaughter.

The power of governments, and religions, alike,

is that they steal men's minds, as a thief in the night.

Casting spells that, securely corral men's minds,

men made clueless, they've become the cattle kind.

Conditioned and programmed, in patterns' behavior,

men's minds are trained, to see, an enslaver as savior.

Wearing chains, of mental incarceration, ever so proudly,

tickled ears deafened to slavery, speaking so loudly.

Be it stars and stripes, or sickles and hammers,

crosses and crescents, or a nation's flag banners,

symbols of nations and cultures, leave Man in tatters,

not of evils of cultures, complexions, or languages,

but of sane men, as Man, reduced to mere mental savages,

by governments and religions, that men's minds befriend,

reducing men's I.Q.'s, to moronic levels' Wars to defend.

The cause of War, is not governments. or religion,

it is ignorance, fear, and superstition,

those weapons wielded, by governments. and religions,

prodding the minds of men, in a most liturgical fashion.

Sugar before a horse? Freedom, as mind fodder rations.

You have Donald Trump down to a tee ( or tea) he stirs fear and superstition in many man’s eyes… he a master of fear and ignorance…. And has feared his clan into voting for him or else…and many more ignoramus’s too..I love the way you portray fear and ignorance…. And war for that matter… wars are fought by imbeciles, not religions reasons….i could go on, but you get the point….
Warmly,
B.

Thank you, Betty, for reading, and for your most valued input of thoughts shared ...

This piece is not centered around current affairs pertaining to America only, but to a precedent that is taking place worldwide ... I never mentioned Trump, Republicans, Conservatives, Liberals, or Munchkins from the Wizard of Oz's Munchkin Land ... What I have spoken of it a trend, an ongoing program of deceit and betrayal orchestrated against Average Jane-n-Joes just like you and me, only that it is taking place all around this world in which we live ... I am a Moderate, which means that I do not stupidly brag up Trump, no talk s**t about Biden ... What I seek is a common sense future for our nation ...

As for the current coming election, I am leaning toward RFK as an Independent Democrat that just might give me the opportunity to vote for a Democratic candidate since I was old enough to vote, and long since his uncle was murdered for being one of the finest presidents America has ever had ...

Thanks Betty, for all your thoughts expressed, which I do respect ...

Oh, I disagree: Wars are fought by imbeciles who rule over us and have programed us all to react, behave, and perform as imbeciles, but those who orchestrate wars are keenly intelligent, and the truest S**T of this Earth ... I am not a Trumpster, yet, we had no wars during his administration to warrant lumping him ( like his a*s or not) in with those imbeciles who do start and wage wars ... Sadly, Mr. Biden is following in the footsteps of those who do ...

And as such, is expressly why I do lean towards RFK as a balanced candidate breaching that no man's land betwixt those who are far right wind conservative and far left wing liberals ...

I will not be voting for Trump, by the way ...
