Collective Societal Insanity!A Poem by Michael StevensDon't listen to his siren's call!![]() What
is it, something in the water, much like fluoride, that blinds some of us from seeing the truth?
By seriously supporting a clown, with a straight face? Only this additive does far worse than strengthening a tooth,
no, this must cause a sort of collective societal insanity. How else to describe a mass leave-taking of our senses?
By supporting such a crude man, who spouts hate and intolerance, who doesn't want to mend fences,
he wants to build them up, until they're a towering wall that divides us and them, a soul-crushing permanent fear
that will make us eye our neighbor with suspicion, a return to the cold war, when we all thought the end was near?
If your friend jumps off a cliff, does that mean you have to follow suit? Cause we are, apparently, we're driving nails into our own coffin,
unless we snap out of the media-driven trance, and get back from the edge. We're following the Pied Piper of Stupidity, we can't let him win!
