Analysis of An Exhausting Attempt



Ignorance taught to teach it.
From birth to feed,
As a need to keep...
Truth and reality as distant as possible.
To allow a successful mind to mold,
Done to do...
To conform one's mind to do as told.
With a certainty this activity will be obeyed.
And consciously followed as a way of life.
Without truth and the reality of it involved?
Has to be,
The cause and reason...
Mental illness intentionally inflicted,
As a sickening disease...
Gone undetected or suspected,
To have been homemade created.
Imitated to impress.
And confined to those with minds,
Limited to fiction only to comprehend...
The ones also taught to teach,
To believe in those interests...
They know to represent.
