bedtime story mindsets

 

corruption isn't about the law

but more so about the narrative read to us

and the mindset for listening

as if as bedtime stories were a sedative

to sleep with a clear conscience

naively in to the night.  

yet the way our think works 

numbs us from being present.

to think without endearment is emotionless.

deeper truths are emotional cohesive.

logic of the mind only floats the truth

but doesn't swim in it.

we bask in hearsay, 

wear lotions and sprays 

against lies and crime

but depend on solar as the zestful truth.

we live for the fabrication 

of sunshade conclusions 

dressed up to appear as livable solutions

but domesticated, as if oblivious to source.

we favor the shade but not the reality of it.

when it comes to corruption unannounced,

can't fathom for the likes of it.

crime beyond comprehension,

it's a prairie of red flags,

blowing in the wind of denial.

we want to have minds in drive-by status,

just long necks of curiosity 

but no stoppage intended.

corruption is incomprehensible.

crime? yes, crime we can handle.

but deeds beyond 

with implications even further?

we travel in bedtime story mindsets.

so what is the reward 

in knowing any of this? . . .
