Vessels

John Prophet

Vessels.
Empty
vessels.
Hardware.
Biological
machinery.
Wild
instincts.
Savage beast.
Simply 
organic
emptiness.
Empty
mindlessness.
Game piece.
Manipulated.
Input.
Software
added.
Pumping
info,
thoughts,
ideas.
Belief systems.
Programmed.
Controlled.
Game played.
Pieces moved.
Moved to
action.
Careening
across the
board.
Rules installed.
Empty vessels
filling up.
Games been
joined.
Light
or dark.
Simple
pieces
in play.
Manipulated,
from afar!

    That manipulation seems to be increasing all the time John.

      Seems so.. only getting more pervasive I’m afraid.
      Thanks for reading Andy

      (thanks for sharing, dear poet
      your words, sent me
      into a lengthy and overtly opinionated
      tangent, sorry)
      if we could just
      get people to understand
      how simple
      the methods being used
      to warp
      peoples, minds
      are..
      then maybe, we have a chance
      of saving, the majority of humanity
      from its generational, repeat
      of those same, cyclical
      mistakes..
      but
      when, dogmatic - warping
      of peoples minds
      is purposely, despicably
      induced
      at such , an early part
      of a child's, development
      it takes a lifetime
      to merely, undo
      and free, a person's - mind
      to think, free
      of mythological, politically dogmatic
      stifling, perspectives..
      (we need to find out
      why peoples
      religious fervour, is attached
      to their Amygdala..
      only then can we understand
      how we can have a conversation
      with conflicting ideal's
      about peoples
      children, wives, parents etc.
      but then if we mention
      their faith or belief system
      its just all out war..
      just pathetic, that's how little progress
      we've made in the last half a millennia..

        I’ve seen surprising warping of minds in those who do not ask questions, simply drink the cool aid. Brainwashing on a global scale thanks to technology. Thanks for reading and commenting.
