"Rhythm" ~

So quickly dismissed as irreality,

Never accepting my spirituality.

All but decided irrationality,

Frowned on and looked at as an abnormality.

So easily swallowed by articulated lies,

God and my belief in him, the governments chastise.

To kill a man for his beliefs has been decriminalized.

Can't see them pull the wool over you, if you don't open your eyes.

Can't say that I've remained entirely undeterred,

I think it's time we all realize the wrongs which have occured.

People's thoughts, and moods and minds, changed by the learned word.

Welcome to my theatre of the absurd.

I enjoyed this poem very very much. It sounds like you have developed a stable, yet real outlook. It's nice to know someone out there isn't taking in every last ounce of nieve ignorance being spoon fed to us by us.
