Analysis of My shadows



Hello Redditt
There I said it
Now I have people who follow
The wisdom of a diseased mind they swallow
I feel like a mini cult leader
Shaping their minds
Like a twister brain breeder
I shall not lead them astray
Yet shape their thoughts for the day
It is the only way I can say
Thank you
For participating in this game, we all play
Of the digital broth
We all eagerly drink
To mold our views of how we think
To form their view of this daily spew
Of how the world is on the brink
Fear not my tiny flock
I shall not waste your time on the clock
Yet tell you what it is you need to see
Before your no longer here to be
Of things that are important to me
That our commonality is the key
To coexist in this binary world
Of which we are all unwillingly hurled
To be bred, fed and left for dead
I welcome you all to this little group of the well said
I promise to keep you in the loop
And well fed with cerebral soup
To keep you thinking and questioning why
And open your eyes
Before you die
It is with this hope
That I try
To open your mind and help you fly
Time to go
Bye bye

Eric (and sometimes not)
