Brainwashed

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Oct 15, 2018

Clean slate
at birth.
Filled up,
programed 
over time.
Information 
force fed,
pushed into
minds. 
Created.
Created by
location,
environment.
Information 
from the
past.
Ancient 
information 
told as truth.
Whose truth?
Earthly truths,
limited in
nature. 
Billions 
of galaxies,
one speck of
dust.
Most not 
known, much
incorrect.
How to move
forward?
Understand,
we know
little.
Much of it
wrong.
Question 
everything.
Accept nothing
as fact!
Clear the mind
of ancient
thought. 
See infinity 
straight on
and rethink 
it all!

I like this poem....it blows the cobwebs out of the brain......you're right, most of what we've been taught is wrong!.....clever men from not too long ago told uneducated people that our world was.....flat!.....
