What’s so surprising to me
(but maybe shouldn’t be)
is how many apparent
zombie-like people
are walking around
in the dark today,
regurgitating words they
don’t really believe, deep
down,
planting their feet,
tilting their heads,
feeding on the brains
of a leader who sows
discord, enmity, and the
bitter seeds of an
underground hate.
One thing you learn
when you grow up in a
family like mine is
how to spot a bullshitter,
how to discern the lie,
how not to become
a zombie feeding on
fear and deceit.
Thanks for the lesson,
[redacted].
