In servitutem Quae Sum (The Naïve Slavery)

Fri, 03/23/2018 - 10:49 -- J.James

Sit your mental essence down and ponder for a second; what is slavery?

A servitude, emphasizing the idea of complete ownership and control by a master.

That kind of sounds like Christianity, just to exploit my bravery.

Thoroughly view this text as unbiased literature and knowledge as the pastor.

A slave is a person entirely under the domination of some influence or a person.

That entails your parents, your job, the Mayor, and all the way to the President.

Think about it, you’re given a choice to choose your leader.

A willing choice to be led by a camouflaged dictator.

Most humans mean well, but seldom do they care if there’s not any benefit.

The only benefit of focus is words; when orchestrated correctly they can destroy or rebuild.

If not recognized, then everyone will be institutionalize, and that’s an estimate.

Don’t forget the chill of the beginning, where our ancestors worked the field.

Being born into a society where it’s accepted, and to some intent encouraged.

Willingly avoiding the truth to stay positioned to what’s familiar.

Highlighting television as an instrument of all-knowing storage.

I ask you, why be naive, your world is as good as the person you view in the mirror.

Please think for yourselves, don’t be so easy to control.

Analyze these words to receive the full unload of truth exposed.
