Since Preschool we are taught to conform to the ways of the world
Rules and regulations that strip us of our individuality
Rules that strip us of are true selves
Through the next 13 years of school
More and more is stripped away
More and more is removed
Until we are nothing
Ready to be filled with whatever Bull Shit
They wish to place in us
To make us mindless, obedient drones
Ready to do as we are told
To go about each day in a mind fog
Part of us knowing something is missing
But
Never knowing what it is
Because once the individual is gone
It's gone
Nothing left but the collective

Look how far or little we’ve come after all that! 🙏🏻🕊️
Thank you
You’re welcome Tony 🙏🏻🕊️
Ah the dilemma individualism and collectivism. A great poem pulling for individualism but then the question, have we been indoctrinated to believe that it is better? Makes one think. Loved it.
Thank you
Great write, Tony! 🌹

But in that new body we can learn anew and move on into our new world Tony.
