Kool-aid

A poem

Will this heat lift
Insufferable
Haze where the sun once was.

Fire rages, the earth cracks, bellies and blood full of plastic, uploaded minds, stolen and altered DNA.

Have our so-called force fed civilized, socialized, gluttonous ways led us to a sinister demise?

The once clear, cool and convenient water is now coloured and fun. Who filled the jug and and turned the dial? We sold out for "easy"and the illusion of saving time because we get thirsty on the run.

Brain washed minds just fell in
All purple and red stained smiles as we drank from the same pitch-er of Kool-Aid.

Oh Yeah, guess what we are in a hot pickle.
Some chose to deny because the truth is just too hard to face.

After all ignorance is bliss.
