I believed in organized religion
and my country
and the propaganda needed
to guide the stupid majority
I ate what others put in front of me
accepting what they said
perched in my cage
I trusted them
and almost died because of it
because of them
many never live
most people never enjoy freedom
because the framework in place
was not set up for it to exist
it takes years to erase destructive forces
others offer your life
it takes much longer to erase
the ones I offered myself
I think I am past many of them though
