"Hypnotic Dogma”

(c)2010 Bob Atkinson

don't care who's side you're on

doesn't matter to me
your choices are your own
hopefully you are free

your chance of being in the right

is below the tenth degree
diversity of thought
always fills the natural need

in my heart I know not all
there is to our lives
but then there are some things
open and plain, out loud

the world is a strange place
when viewing objectively
how others play with our minds so freely
and slave us endlessly

keeping our souls in need
of the artificial things
that which was made by man
and not of the natural being
we all know is at hand


as without of an honest grace
they take from our lives
those important items we need
survival and nature's pride

struggles not of our selection
banners waiving, bodies moving
tunes of martial music wailing
seducing will with harmonic sadness

in this ever changing world
of struggles far and near
taking away my open mind
is what I most fear


if one keeps not their head
what do they have of life
but that which others give
for their own ego's delight

I do not want to know your mind

or total lack thereof

by looking at your garments

or the symbols of your love

you give away all your character

when you allow them to hypnotize

your mind into that mello jelly

of dogma compromise

it's not that what they say

isn't right or correct

it's that they use it as a tool

to obstruct and oppress

happened many, many times

in the long lost past we find

where people hurt others badly

their freedoms were compromised

in the name of some cause or deity

some pushy godless mess

that allows the will of the people

to be harshly oppressed

so when someone tells you what

you should think or do

with ritual and dogma

don't be their fool

buzz words and physical movement

done again and again

result in the mind believing

in what is said or read
