The Whole World Inside

.passing you by.

when you can't think for yourself

the whole world is propaganda

so if the shoe fits the foot should not matter

if you are that

or this or truly some other

that

and never more

very often we are almost never this...

what we suppose we are

open and unashamed

infrequently that, almost never that

what's true inside of you

the good that can't come out

hence the disconnect

with natural breathing and social living

in conflict with spontaneous formations

belly remembered and heart forgotten

easy is always quite right

nice and warm

when life is simple

the old easy is lies in modern times

as world around breaths change

destruction and creation

indifferent to common stations

  (and you hold your breath)

a philosophy becomes archaic

lost yet still stockpiled

idiot preparations

like muskets and bayonets

in the face of nuclear weapons

you will be forgotten

with the rest

of the short sighted contrived

when you can't think for yourself

the whole world is propaganda
