Overcoming
Indoctrination bias
Through no fault
Of your own
You were merely
The absorbing sponge
Soaking up information
Saturated in society
Pumped in by parents
When one considers
What they know or believe
Is essentially
Based on perceptions
Of background education
Triggering reactions
How can one think
They are free when
Subconsciously or
Unconsciously attached
To so many tethers
“Because your beliefs are just that, they are just how you were taught and raised. That doesn’t make them real.”
– Bill Hicks
For example Democracy
Is allegedly the best
Form of government
Really……. WHY?
Because it is an
Unconscious mantra
Repeated over and over
Like a Big Lie
Till it is accepted
Without question
After all
Are all
Housed and fed…..no
Healthy and balanced…..no
Free from debt
Living without borders
Taxed highest to
Build WMD’S
You know
Devices to kill people
In large quantities
Who have no beef with you
Well, yeah, no, but
…….It’s necessary
Till people get lost
In a circular argument
Of emotional exhaustion
Well, yeah, no, but, it’s still
The best form of government
You Hoo…….McFly
“Democracy is the worst kind, I am sorry, but it is. We get to pick our leaders..well…
What if I don’t want a leader? Where does that vote go? I do good on my own, I don’t want to be “led”. Is that freedom?”
– Doug Stanhope
Same goes for religion
If you were born
Down the street
In your small town
Or a megalopolis or
Across the country or
A different part of the earth
You would believe
Having been taught
That, that religion
Is the best, even though
All are incredibly similar
Sorta based on
Do unto others……..unless……
“My God has a bigger dick than your God!”
– George Carlin
Sadly the indoctrination bias
Runs so abysmally deep
It perpetuates itself
Like a black hole in space
Growing larger by the
Debris in its orbit
Never escaping the
Dark gravitational pull
Making it harder that one
Has yet to overcome
Their indoctrination
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
