Caring Less About Ourselves

Nothing of significance,
Has been associated to their existence.
A selfishness convinced,
Of a worthlessness makes a lot of sense.
If one comprehends...
The total lack of discipline,
That relies on another to make life right for them.

'They act as if they don't care about us.
So we will show them by caring less about ourselves.'

Since raising today's children...
The majority unqualified to do it,
Are empty vessels...
Fed to feed on symbolic needs.
And told and conditioned,
A divinity prepares to meet them in eternity.

~Do nothing but pray.
Stay on your knees all day.
Obey what we say,
And all your troubles will go away! ~
