Found To Offend

Fantasies fed will keep a people seduced,
To believe in anything...
With the sweetening of entitlements,
Easily given.

How else can it be explained,
A truth that exists going purposely ignored...
And found to offend,
Whenever the existence of it is mentioned...
With a resistance of it?

And those with a consciousness daring to do this,
Labelled misfits seeking attention?

Fantasies fed will keep a people seduced,
To believe in anything...
With the sweetening of entitlements,
Easily given.

How else can it be explained,
A truth that exists going purposely ignored...
And found to offend,
Whenever the existence of it is mentioned...
With a resistance of it?
