Absent in Reflection

Posted bydiestlPosted inUncategorized

For centuries we’ve believed in fairytales.

Storytelling through the spoken word.

Stories in books.

Movies pretending to be truth.

News telling us what to think.

Religions promising certainty.

We imitate the scripts handed to us

instead of becoming ourselves.

Propaganda rarely feels like propaganda.
