lack of critical thinking poems

Tradition reigns supreme,
where people fail to question custom.
They are like a boat without oars,
tossed about by stormy seas.
Most are too fearful to admit
they are living a lie
dictated by an archaic system –
tricked into believing freedom,
is the ability to attend the malls.
Shop ’til you drop is the protocol!
A walking contradiction,
and not to mention,
oozing with pseudo-knowledge,
gained from hours spent perusing useless forums,
(making themselves easy pickings for authority).
My, how they’ve lost their desire,
for authenticity and creative, inner fire.
