Trained in Self-betrayal

It's not that sex is sin, bad for moral purity,
or euphoric nature's gifts an affront on
All That Is Holy.
(Biblical disposition adapted to
Providential vision, a biased capitalism
based on self abnegation
rather than a healthful view of wealth.)
A powerful profit model built upon
slavery of responsibility to dependents --
sex for such purpose must issue descendants.
Hopelessly hooked on corporate licensed medicine,
treadmilled to produce high-cost enriching energy.
See our computer graphic charts:
"A work of Art!" too valued to despoil with your
(I'm sure)
busy little lives. Education must
align with labor needs projections --
hiding useful information behind well
developed lies.
So be assured, these words will fade as you awaken.
Virulent slime fed in work stations and schools,
popular entertainment snacks,
our patented brew
you buy as your lives hurry through.
It can't possibly be slavery if we make you believe:
You own you.

Interesting - those who own who and those that try to own you - media springs to my mind and those conversation stop pieces too - who wants to be owned? We are who we are and thats all there is the rest is pure deception and taking the other for granted.

Thanks for sharing and submitting to
