Hazardous Material

Hazardous Material

 

Toxic textbooks

Historical illusions  

Minds of the masses

Diluted

 By the pollutions

Of our educational

 Institutions

Poisonous noise

Attacking our ears

Mind numbing music

Used to arouse our fears

Littered

With lack luster lyrics

No meaning

No heart

Just another catchy beat

A hostage victim

 That was once

Art

Deadly politics

A contaminated game

Religious warfare

Using God’s name

In vain

Media outlets

Pointing fingers

And laying blame

Taking no accountability

Just taking aim

Spewing

 Their version of the truth

Manipulation without shame

Highlighting

The glitz and glamor

And those

Who sold their souls

For fame

Glorified are

Sex, drugs, and lies

I can’t help but to think…

Is it all by design?

Venom poured into our eyes

To keep us blind

To keep us in line

But we beg for more

 Thinking it keeps us alive

There is crude in the food

And slaughter in the water

Mass ingestion of deception

Infecting your sons and daughters

 

 

…So keep your soul covered

For there’s a war

 In a realm that’s spiritual

Get your mind out of the gutter

And stay away from this

 Hazardous material

very well written , the collusion within society is very transparent , it shapes us to what it wants us to be , their is no individuality in most average people we are all within its web :) good write i love the conspiracy type of writes often times they carry a strong element of truth we tend to over look :)

[Sirius King]

thank u Peter!

Amazing write. It reads like spoken word. Very true statements made even more powerful by your command of the English language. This is truly an amazing piece.

[Sirius King]

A wholehearted AMEN! to this, Serenus! We, and especially our youth, are surrounded by nothing but garbage - what they see, hear, eat... toxic, indeed! Well penned!

[Sirius King]

i agree, thank u Rita!

[Commanda Panda]

It has political tones but also covers society in general. The glitz and glamour bit makes me think of how people are so focused on what's going on with the people in Hollywood that they have no clue about anything that should take priority. Good read.

[Sirius King]

very true, thanx man!

[Baby Ricochet]

[Sirius King]
