Close To Obvious



Has it begun to get close to obvious yet?
Are there still that many left,
Bathing in depths of denial to have no regrets.
As obvious and close,
To truth to refuse killing those overdosing...
On lies to deceive and reality disbelieved.
Totally.
As if,
Never to have existed.

Yet delusions to fiction,
A way of life to protect it falling apart...
Step by step to defend the B.S. of it kept.
Is held tighter to prioritize,
Than the breathing of breath.

Close to obvious.
Many have lost their consciousness.
And close to obvious,
Gone from minds is the using...
Of common sense.
To employ the enjoyment of destruction.
Baited with hatred.
Baited with division.
Baited with a fiction to accept evil decisions.
To employ the enjoyment of destruction.
Baited with hatred.
Baited with division.
Baited with a fiction to accept evil decisions.
Erasing...
Consciousness.
Erasing thoughts to think them.
Erasing...
Life.
And what it is to mean!
Besides demeaning others.
To value more an attention to receive.
Done to appease sickened mentalities.

Baited.
Baited.
Baited.
Erasing thoughts to think them.
Erasing...
Life.
And what life is to mean.
And what life is to mean.
And what life is to mean!
With a doing to appease sickened,
Into a blinding mindset.
