Liberty of mind —
Suffered to remain caged
Silenced by a jeering chorus
Of oppressive voices
Parroting persuasive fallacies
Drips of rich honey
Dangling from every word
Falling into gaping mouths
Hungry for the addictive flavor
Of comforting half-truths
While syrupy drizzles
Of juicy peach lies
Dilute skepticism’s rancid bile
In a dizzying rush
Of saccharine deceit
Veins and sense flood
In the intoxicating high
Of forgotten autonomy
As limbs flail and sway
To the blind dance
Of the puppet-master’s design
