Coerced

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Jun 23, 2023

Coerced.
Coerced
to believe.
Believe
what’s been
preached,
injected.
Force-fed
through
time.
Battling
narratives.
Conjured.
First
on the
scene.
Archaic
ideas
flowing
through.
Mind to
mind.
Clouding
the soul.
Moving
forward.
Once
installed,
tough to
dislodge.
Ancient
beliefs,
fears.
Thus
passed
forward
mind to
mind.
Generation
to
generation.
New concepts
hard to
apply.
Resistance.
Ancient
resistance.
Flowing
through,
cloud
navigation.
Dark cloud
raining.
Global
infection.
Danger to
modernity.
