The Mind-Slaves ***Obedience is not a ******* substitute for Critical Thinking.*** Why do we treat Obedience with more reverence than we do Critical Thinking? (CONTROL) ***Obedience is not a ******* acceptable substitute for Critical Thinking.*** Obedience is not inherently bad, but unquestioning Obedience is tantamount to Fascism. To Terrorism. To Americanism. To Consumerism. To Militarism. To Racism. To Sexism. Obedience can never, ever stand in place of Critical Thinking. If you want to get immersed in a true story: live your own life. That is, of course, unless you've allowed it to be set up in such a way that it is no longer a true story. ***Obedience is not a ******* substitute for Critical Thinking!*** ***Obedience is not an acceptable ******* substitute for Critical Thinking!*** Obedience is not so much your friend as is Critical Thinking! ***Obedience is a ******* marionette string for those in power!*** ***Obedience ***** up Critical Thinking!*** ***Obedience is not a ******* virtue unless you're a Slave!*** ***Obedience is not a ******* virtue unless you're a Servant!*** ***Obedience is not a ******* virtue unless you're a Tyrant!*** ***Obedience is not a ******* virtue unless you're a Fascist!*** ***Obedience is not a ******* virtue unless you're a egocentric power-hungry **** ***Your Obedience is not equivalent to your ******* worth, nor is your ******* wealth.*** The number of people who idolize you is not a quantification of how good you are!

A demon masquerading as the almighty dollar; she is cunning, and she is tricky. She is beguiling, and she is illusory. Deceitful and avaricious, yet believers follow aimlessly. To have her in your possession is nothing like how it feels to be stripped of her. Those who succumb to her seduction are granted luxury and leisure; the pledge to idolize her mindlessly is engraved into our brains. Indigence, starvation; the deprivation of the green goddess is malicious. Free yourselves from the hold she has on you; from the worldly power she possesses.

The Green Goddess
Your name has meaning not to me for I want the bat and not some trick you use to hide your nightly guise, the one I’ve come to idolize There’s many reasons you and I have chased the cats and not the mice: the rats have trouble keeping up, the cats will scratch you but with love I don’t seek the face behind the mask for I want layers upon layers— upon dusk to hide a face that might prove you’re just a man and I’m a fool

My Therapist said that I have abandonment issues, says that I tend to idolize the people who leave me, She says that I build shrines for those who leave, and tombs for those who stay.

Dear Talia, I don't want to be a tortured artist. I don't want to be depressed and I don't want to be anxious. Competitive sadness and disorders treated like accessories disgust me. The world glamorizes mental illness, and I don't understand why. There is nothing romantic about being mentally ill just like how there's nothing glamorous about a broken wrist or a torn medial collateral ligament. There's nothing romantic about constantly being afraid that the world will fold in itself and **** you with it. There's nothing romantic about feeling like you could break down and cry at any moment. This is the first piece I've written while being medicated. I want it to be Christmas already. The world dreams itself a halo, but can only attain horns. The halo is an illusion and the horns are an idea. I'm due to take another Lorazepam. Would I look cool to the kids who idolize dysfunction and misinterpret pain as style, if I were to take one of these, with water and a distant glance, in front of them? Geez, to have their approval would to have everything and nothing at all. I'm not sure why I've written as much about this as I have. You. It is 2:48 am and all I can think about, in this moment, is you. I can't wait to spend Christmas with you. I can't wait to wear bad Christmas sweaters, and be the couple everyone hates, as we sing Christmas carols and spread holiday cheer. I wrote this poem a few minutes ago. Sometime around 2:30 am. I'm not sure. I'm exhausted: I sat on the edge of my bed, and on the edge of my life, medicated to the point of pointlessness. Soft. It was the nineteenth, not the twentieth, and I wished I saw the fireworks with her fifteen days earlier. My gasps tore the shingles off of the house. And they hung suspended above the hole in the roof. And God stared down into my room, as the shingles swirled skyward. "I see you," I said, "but I don't believe in you." I left home and ran until I was a dream that had passed itself. I hope that was okay. I love you. Yours, Joshua Haines

People in the Bible worshipped idols time and time again. They did it even though doing so was a terrible sin. People once worshipped Baal, it was one of the idols. People refused to worship God even though it was vital. When God saw people worshipping idols, it really angered him. They had to suffer the Lord's wrath when he punished them. Some of those people's cities were destroyed and some became slaves. Worshipping idols was a stupid and shameful way for them to behave. Some people still have idols, one of which is movie stars. Jehovah God is watching, he knows who these people are. The Lord is the only one who people should idolize. If you worship him, it is a decision that is very wise.

Worshipping Idols
Even though false idols like Baal no longer exist, many people still idolize things today. These people idolize money and *** when they should only idolize Jehovah God always. God is offended when people idolize things other than him, it's something that he hates. If you're such a person, you'd better change because it's something God won't tolerate. God is the only one who should be idolized, not other wicked things. People who idolize anything other than God had better watch out because disaster is what it will bring.

People Still Have False Idols Today
let's make a deal. uncap the bottle, discover my greatest work- a soliloquy on sentience, performed to an empty room. the walls are bleeding lead poisoning again and i am leaving logic behind. the air is crisp on my wretched skin and as the world dies its aching breath helps me to finally feel alive. i am pure white. let me rise, enlightened. as i float, breathless, i can feel, finally, the weight of my bones. make me into a sparrow, feast upon my marrow, so i can become porous- but leave my hollow mind whole. idolize me. spin my disease into pure beauty. a stone-cold rose grounds the coffin for my dreams, liberating me from responsibility. awaken me. strip my heavy corpse of its wings, eviscerate the breath from my lungs cease my tangibility oh glory, build me up strip me down to my knuckles and teeth, to the weathered bone. remove the bloodstains from my home. if i bleed now it will be beautiful when i fall, i will glorify the cement, decorate it with my shining insides when i come down it will be stunning it will be dreadful and i will be resplendent -but the delivery won't change the content candy wrapping can't cover up the stench of death- i have given up on purging the necrosis from my tissue i have found this tantalizing muse once again, and once more i will let her put cigarettes out on my sorry skin. i've grown to love the smell, that acrid poison it almost covers up the scars she leaves- if i can make dying sound beautiful then to hell with us all if you could romanticise suicide you'd be rotting too

Its an addiction... When you relish every word And see beauty in written lines, Seeing them romance each other While everyone see paragraphs. Its an addiction... When you idolize pens like brush And adore papers like canvas, When you see things in 4D In a three dimensional world! Its an addiction... When you see colorful shades of gray While everyone sees blacks and whites, When you see words come alive And embark on every poetic voyage. Its an addiction... When everything is beautiful Be it tragic, happy or vague, As long it's expressed in words In a seamless, caressing way! Its an addiction... When you peek into Hellopoetry When you know you should be working, When you see poetry in everything And must hurry to write and share. It's an addiction... When you read these lines of mine And proceed to click ♥ Yes! I am deeply addicted! And no! I do not need a shrink! © Raphael Uzor

Sweet Addiction!
We overpay to over-eat, then we feverously attempt to burn this excess. To hide our gluttony, we pay for the gym, burning precious electricity. To fit the mold, of celebrities we pay to idolize, we desperately lust for perfection. This vicious cycle, of over-indulgence combined with expensive repercussions fuels our desire to appear modest.

Idolize
To be perfectly honest this was one of the more difficult poems to string together for the sheer fear of possibly jinxing it, as there appears to be a pattern to every story involving a boy and me lately, which begins with the same overrated butterflies in the stomach sensation followed by a poem, sleepless nights, cigarettes, ***** and a tragic ending. So having reached the poem stage my instincts and the part of my brain receptive to pain are already bracing themselves, I can feel them clenching in my gut.   As this three nights stand situation burns the lines between a ***** call, friendship with benefits and something to the extent of a budding romance, my expectations are protesting against being so fiercely oppressed, frankly they are getting out of control, as the dislike of not wanting to be clingy, chivalry of not wanting to subdue to any labels nor the fear of yet another heartbreak itself, are no longer sufficient to keep these rising hopes in place. Ironically, when I think of you I think more of who I become when I'm with you, than actually you, even though I do sincerely adore you. Very much. I'm bemused by how comfortable I feel in my own skin, naked and burnished, next to your warm, ivory touch. Each time you trail your fingers down my body and take in a quick breath as if you were seeing me for the very first time, I treasure the look in your eyes for later in the week when the going gets tough. I idolize your rough, blistered, bleeding palms with all its calluses for they mirror my own much subtle bruises, representing our shared interest, commitment, strength and transformation. Your new found superpower to completely eradicate my necessity to socially smoke when socializing with you, speaks for itself really, and we haven't even got to the laughter, the banter, the top notch sarcasm, the conversation, the warmest embrace, breakfast ending in a ridiculously serious spectacle of coffee making, which I thoroughly enjoy from the best seat in the kitchen wearing your shirt which fits me far more perfectly, and the skip in my step as I head home. So when the day comes for the revolution, of my expectations, overthrowing this rather tiresome governance of fear, I just might pop the question, will you be my forever one night stand? , in the hope that you might just say yes...

Before you fall in love with a suicidal girl Don't. Suicide can not be romanticized and though she might idolize you Remember that you may not be enough. Remember that this world may never be enough. Demons don't just go away, sometimes they just hide in the shadows. And even at the highest noon they are there. Just smaller. The sun will go down. She will always have shadows. Remember that no matter what you do You are irrelevant in her master plan. She will plan out her letters in your arms. When she is silent hold her. Make her know that she is loved, it may not be enough but those few moments in your arms might make her think twice. But don't assume for one second you will be her savior. When you see cuts on her wrists do not beg her to stop. She won't. She will cut deeper for letting you see her weak. She will try to be strong. She will put on a show for you. She will make you forget she was ever depressed. Remember that sunsets can make you forget that night is bound to follow. Know that night will follow. When you get her final love letter to you Ignore the fact that it is stained in blood. Do not pour your precious time.into wondering if she suffered. She will write her apologies in her best handwriting. Do not read it. Get in your car and drive. Drive to the nearest bar and read the letter through hazy bloodshot eyes. Do not blame yourself. Do not look for moments you could have done something different. It'll drive you crazy. Before you fall in love with a suicidal girl. Don't.

Remember that no matter what you do You are irrelevant in her master plan. She will plan out her letters in your arms. When she is silent hold her. Make her know that she is loved, it may not be enough but those few moments in your arms might make her think twice. But don't assume for one second you will be her savior. When you see cuts on her wrists do not beg her to stop. She won't. She will cut deeper for letting you see her weak. She will try to be strong. She will put on a show for you. She will make you forget she was ever depressed. Remember that sunsets can make you forget that night is bound to follow. Know that night will follow. When you get her final love letter to you Ignore the fact that it is stained in blood. Do not pour your precious time.into wondering if she suffered. She will write her apologies in her best handwriting. Do not read it. Get in your car and drive. Drive to the nearest bar and read the letter through hazy bloodshot eyes. Do not blame yourself. Do not look for moments you could have done something different. It'll drive you crazy. Before you fall in love with a suicidal girl. Don't.

Romantic arson, a thousand lovers burning to the blooming flowers of my accelerant: amoral, senseless rage. Because I do not or will not consider another vice for your confessional. Come shed indifference. Thumb the holy water font. Theorize inconclusive evidence of life apart from love. Crawl into the vacant church which is my heart. Idolize Me.

Idol
Suicide was never the answer to your temporary problems And now I read about your death through the newspaper columns " teen boy found dead with suicide letter..." I believed you when you said you were feeling better... This poem is for the suicidal boys that never get recognized Suicide is never the right thing to idolize! Put down the razor, or your item of torture You get pushed passed your limits, and it hurts, sure... But that doesn't mean you can't make it through your temporary problem Do you really want to be idolized through the newspaper column?

suicide
Get impassioned, get informed, get involved, because our ignorance makes us impotent, irrational, idiotic invalids, incapable of inquiry, and strips us of our individuality. Time to step up and take back what's yours. Hedge fund managers and securities brokers hold a cumulative trillion + dollars in assets. While you're living on minimum wage, working 2 jobs, struggling with job security, or drowning in student debts; they rake in 9 figure incomes by gambling with other people's money, and get tax breaks that come out of your pocket. Your voice is not insignificant, you are just as important as the people you idolize. Believe in yourself and extend it to others. We are the collective majority, and we have been conned. Together, we have the power to make a change for the better, so spread the word, and tell em you heard: get impassioned, get informed, get involved.

A Thought (Expanded)
I'll be at the ball in my tutu and fishnets While I idolize the girls with the long hair and dresses The money thrown at them by loving parents While my outfit is made up of spare change and short tresses But I'll wear my mohawk high because even though I look out of place and not as royal as you I am me and true to my name While you are just the same ******* dolled up

**** The Squad
Indolence always gets the best of me I feel like a jab painting images without metaphors, avoiding the intense visions of the lot Indifferent, inebriated. All demons slayed. Spread eagle. Life seems to be a hassle, in two ways on the same street I am the attention ***** who wants to be left alone Pushing them back only draws them closer Today is no different, a muse, a good laugh, a realization my schedule is full again. I just want to spend my time anything else lacks luster Goal: (noun) 1. aim, 2. end, 3. target, 4. purpose, 5. intention, 6. objective, 7. ambition, I have none. You can't force me, try as you may. What does pique my interest is art If I ever get over self indulgence, which I will market emphatically, I may consider starting a career Controversies are fun, so is ****** to balance them both in one hand and collect with the other that is art. Form, the world has never seen. Abstract ambiguity rewriting itself. Displeasing parents and loved ones around. The one the perverts idolize the critics would bow in awe to Ah yes... I feel so lazy.

Of art and articulation
Sun kissed skin Honey brown eyes This woman, I idolize She is a wonderful surprise Day in, day out This angel, Makes my heart beat out of my chest She is nothing like the rest Unique & sweet Loving as can be Like I said before, she is an angel I adore In this world I could ask for nothing more For her in my arms My lucky charm My other half, I may say I cherish this woman every day Intoxicating smile that catches you at hello Her vibe keeps you feeling mellow A kiss that sends chills down my body A feeling I will always miss A feeling that puts me at bliss Her hugs so warm & safe The sad world, is not so sad when she is in-front of me In fact, the world absolutely disappears Nor the good, the bad, or the in-between Leaving two souls falling whole Never wanting to let go Hand in hand Hearts in another I fall for her everyday Feeling like summer I may say When her passionate side comes about Almost every emotion I have screams out **** yet lovely Her intelligence is my key A mind so beautiful, I am blessed to see Fiery, fierce spirit No other woman could even get near it Determined to the bones This woman feels like my home.

Twin Flame
I killed myself. A Tuesday. Fresh cut grass, the smell welcoming, as if to announce Spring and rebirth. Then you think of Hay Fever and laugh at the simplicity we hold for nature. Leave it. Don't branch off. Knock on wood. I coughed on a stranger. It was unintentional. My apology was sincere, as was his vulgarity. Made me think: This ******* probably eats with his mouth open. Food flying. Spit soaring. An intentional imbecile. To be noted: If I see this man again, I will sneeze on him. Fast food is absolutely disgusting, but there is an occasional craving. When you lift the top bun of a cheeseburger and it gets stuck to the cheese. That's all I have to say about that. The quality of the food has put us in a pickle. I'm tired. I'm sure there is a mattress salesman close by to sell me a dream. What is my most comfortable thread count? Futon it is! I haven't killed myself, yet, but I've died a long time ago. But, dying and killing yourself aren't one in the same. The dead walk. Ones who **** idolize permanence.

Death or Permanence
I used to idolize you And I could never believe You would deliberately hurt me You didn't mean it It wasn’t your fault A million excuses Exchanged for a million bruises That lined my skin In semi-permanent remembrance of you Five years later I can still see those black and blue marks That once blotted my skin But now I am awake And no longer oblivious To your lies 5 years of slumber 1,825 days Or 43,800 hours And even 2,628,000 minutes Of being blind to you But the mathematics do not matter Because you do not measure Pain the same way You measure time Finally speaking, 5 years later After being silenced by my own mind Trapped by the fear that no one Would understand Let alone care 5 years of being scared and afraid Like an animal Who was hit too many times Only because I was too ignorant To run from what I thought Was love And now it has been three days Since his return Old wounds have resurfaced 5 years worth of scars Of bruises Of horrible, horrible memories All oppressed by my notion Of what love really was I can feel my skin become tender From where you used to abuse Your power But the difference now Is that I am strong I am not measly Nor weak And I will never cower Below your shadow again 5 years of recovery And torture and pain But now I can live The rest of my life An eternity with an infinite Amount of possibilities Because I am not scared Not anymore Because after 5 years of being weak I arise from my hibernation And come out courageous

Courageous
love - noun deep affection, fondness, intimacy -where your jaw drops to the floor and your heart beats out of your chest like a cartoon character past tense -where time slowed down, or even came to a stop because you locked eyes with this one person across the room and your entire future flashed through your mind like a projector streaming home videos on a sheet hung upon your living room wall but it didnt last and eventually time caught back up and you ran out of film so again you were stuck holding your own hand love - verb adoration, worship, idolize do you love me? could you ever love me? dont answer that

definitions of a word that no longer holds meaning
There are celebrities who people idolize. They may not know it but it's wrong in God's eyes. Jehovah God is the only one who deserves to be idolized. This may anger some people and some may be surprised. It's okay for people to respect celebrities and to be their fans. But we should idolize only God and never any woman or man. We shouldn't idolize people because it's a terrible sin. If you idolize somebody, please let it come to an end.
