curiosity ...

curiosity ... involves a will to question a facility not needed when you have blind faith in shock jocks who compellingly save you the trouble there is power in persuasion a voice with sonorous conviction that corrals you into what to think burrows into a small mind like a god-voiced ear wig quelling the notion you are not so sure? Pauline has the courage to say what you are thinking or the audacity to fill an empty vessel that had nothing but a nascent fear that blissful ignorance was under attack so gather with the herd know you are not alone the mediocrity shepherds will reassure you that you are all together it’s them that are different it’s them who are hatefully wrong
