The Indoctrination Machine

the indoctrination machine 

- ‘patent pending’

read, repeat

listen, repeat,

traumatise,

recite

the closing 

lines 

of your lectures 

self-published 

book on 

psychology

 

your views

on the human universe

tickle me,

it just ain’t

that simple,

mould, 

repeat,

try to qualify

for the 

obsolete,

six feet

under

and stinking,

human lumber

unfit for construction

 

you took 

a leap of faith,

I saw you falling,

no angels 

where there 

to stop your 

organs 

firing out 

of every orifice,

impact isn’t sexy

 

the indoctrination machine 

hunts for the easy meat,

chewing at 

individual belief,

you have to memorise,

to qualify 

for the production lines, 

the highly educated

need to be resuscitated

from the slow death doctorates

and degrees that appease 

their sponsors
