Analysis of Gone. Nolonger Needed. Nolonger Used!



Has the doing,
Been normalized and accepted.
Kept to keep,
Many refusing to suspect or detect...
How effective living with time to give it,
Has a direct connection to their mental health.

Such are these days we live in fear.
And threats nowhere near.
Yet...
Many are made to prepare themselves.
For something created and despise.
What they can not see to visualize.

Many have been made to be convinced,
The luxury of their entitlements...
Are slowly diminishing,
From them one day to fade away.
With a need they must continue to prepare,
To defend and protect,
What has been fictioned to delude...
Reality and the truth.
Wanting nothing to do,
That makes them stay afraid of it.

Gone from them has been consciousness.
Gone from them,
Nolonger common sense used.
Their minds have become addicted,
To the drug of deception.
And effective this habit has affected,
Their mental health.
Leaving them to seek help and a remedy.
That will cure them from themselves!

Gone. Nolonger needed.
Gone they are.
As tools to disbelieve,
Themselves used and abused.
For the joy and the fun of it.
Picked.
Voluntarily to allow and follow,
This.
With a welcoming it to them,
Blindly done!

'We're off to see the Wizard,
That wonderful Wizard of Odds.
And...
We'll follow and follow to follow and follow,
Because we've been made fools we are!'

And, uh...
Why are you here?

'I'm...
Off to see the Wizard.
That wonderful Wizard of Odds.
Because because because because,
I can't believe who he is!
Someone with that kind of power to trick.
I want to learn too to do!'

'And...
Yes!
Aren't we all?
Hopefully this fad won't last!
You know...
These steps remind me,
Of the Electric Slide.
To the right...fools!
To the left...fools!
Who today wants to be alone.
Out of fashion?
Staying with a compassion outdated?
If you are crazed.
Why should I be the one to judge?'
