Analysis of Convinced



So many of us,
Have been made convinced.
What we take to steal from others,
Is ours to declare owned.
From innovations created,
To scriptures lifted out of a Bible.
Re-interpreted to quote,
A meaning meant to depict...
The meaning of theft.
That becomes a stripping away,
Of natural resources from one place...
To another.
With this done to have believed,
A doing done was to feed and nourish...
The ones from which,
Such resources...
Were lifted from the ground.
And from where they sat.
To then be told by thieves,
Diamonds, gold, platinum, titanium...
Silver, oil, copper, ore and coal.
Could never feed them like the fruits,
That deceiving thieves produced.
By a sweating to manufacture,
Schemes that hoodwinked to dupe.
And sold as told by smiling crooks.
With perfect implanted newly bought,
Teeth!
