Blind Consumers


Who will you sell to?
When they are all drunk, sick, or high?
A question I don’t think you’ve thought through

You assume there is nothing we can do
We either submit or we die
Who will you sell to?

The ol’ red, white, and blue
The place where we live to defy
A question I don’t think you’ve thought through

You use manipulation as your tool
For mass hypnosis, no one can ask why
Who will you sell to?

I ache for new generations. You will dictate to their wombs
That is, if the ocean flows left and right if the clouds fill the sky
A question I don’t think you’ve thought through

The truth is, for some, oblivion is what they choose
For some, they will stand tall, refuse lies
Who will you sell to?
If we opened our eyes and stood in our truth?

    We all must open our eyes to the truth!

    For too long to many have been mislead by misinformation and manipulated by empty promises and untold truths.

    Very strong…very relevant.

    So much to unwrap here.

    What I love about this piece… is that it makes you reflect on so many things.

    1. Thank you! I’ve been exploring various poetic forms. The refrain it involves could be considered as constricted but definitely broadens the writing technique!

About the blog

I initially created my website to share my work with fellow writers. After taking a break for several years, I recently returned and turned one of my projects into a book titled “Guilty,” which I will be releasing at the end of February 2025! This has been an incredible journey, and I’m excited to see what comes next once this project is complete. Thank you for visiting! Please take a look at my work over the years and feel free to leave feedback—I truly appreciate it, whether it’s positive or constructive!
