<p>What is it that makes people so keen to
believe without sight?</p>
<p>In a world that bores so many stories, a
generation could</p>
<p>recite
even</p>
<p>The most lilliputian part—
yet dare to inquire
about the truth behind Columbus and your—</p>
<p>a
Fraud—
one who detests history as he was taught,
because why think that his story is</p>
<p>any
More than just that—
a tale, a tall one,
who's
unremitting presence towers above the mind</p>
<p>of every
Child that enters this system—
learning about a
history they have not witnessed: before
they can comprehend the elements that make
it up.</p>
<p>Kids are subject to scrutiny for using the
same words as another as an account of
Plagiarism—
subject to placate the owner of
words that were never his.</p>
<p>Teachers meant to teach us—
instead
perpetuate lies in order to conciliate Mann, the
progenitor of a system designed to uniformly
create—</p>
<p>machines.</p>
<p>We are told to be independent, yet taught as a
monolithic unit designed
To work for the system—
an apparatus who will
give its life for the advancement of a world</p>
<p>Whose face it doesn't even know.
The ones who deviate, who deviate—
cast aside as lunatics.</p>
<p>In a world that offers no proof,
the loudest voices
often drown out the truth.</p>
