There are a lot of educated people in America;
but being educated
does not make us intelligent or smart.
America’s churches and schools
have not worked to produce
an intelligent society;
they have discouraged,
even overridden
intelligence
and manufactured instead
a safe structure,
an institutionalized,
color by the number
work within
the confines of the box
mechanism.
There is a difference between
being taught what to believe
and being taught how to believe;
between being taught
what to think
and how to think;
between being taught how to learn,
and being programmed.
American institutions do not educate;
rather they enslave.
They program the mind
and train the ego.
The certificate on the wall,
even the diploma,
is more important than
the gift of innate intelligence.
Americans indoctrinated by the institution
are assimilated into the machine,
assuming their position
as programmed automatons
mere branches and limbs
embodying
and facilitating
the will of the system
expressed as public opinion,
The De Facto American Idol.
A tree is known by its fruit.
The tree called America
was cut down
out from underneath us
even right before our eyes;
but most do not even recognize
what was done
or how it was done.
It was dismantled
and most do not even know
cannot even conceive
what it was.
Cut down in her prime,
she was replaced by another,
one that is being used,
manipulated
by the influence and control
of a very powerful mind.
Blinded by ambition
deaf to reason
dumb and wholly without expression,
most Americans are trapped,
not only by their own personal labyrinth
but in the insignificant babble
of the collective
to which they contribute,
oblivious to the non-reality
engineered around them
within which they are enslaved,
fearfully hiding behind the veneer
they project of themselves
and onto others.
This is status quo America.
anything else is unusual,
even ominously revolutionary.
