the myopia of fright 9/9/18

in shortsightedness’s finest moment,

we are marginalized by overwhelm,

in a peephole’s perspective.  

squirm is a legitimized reaction.

panic as acting out.

death as a backdrop incentive, 

to be guarded against results.

we are armed to the gills;

first the word,

then the wheel,

now the gun,

next, complete isolation. 

for safety means, of course.

western medicine suffers from the same,

treat for the symptoms,

so as not to address 

the deeply engrained real causes.

capitalism is in the deep of psychology 101.

glean profits are as an emphasized necessity.

war is only highlighted as incentives.

war is essentially an ‘us versus them’ reality,

an isolationist’s anthem.

the myopia of fright provides the lyrics.

we are all unobtrusively coerced to join in,

to the singing of that song . . .
