You Are What You Eat

Master fed me bread, yet I remained a man.

In flesh and blood I stood my ground

And upheld who I am.

Master fed me wine, and still I could recall

Who of all had brought me up and

Why I was here at all.

But when Master fed to me the media,

Full of viewpoints and opinions,

I fell blind when faced with its ideas

A radically newborn minion.

My ghostly Master still feeds my faceless mouth

With not a drop of ill remorse.

I thank my Master for my mind free of scouth,

And servitude which I endorse.

*** A Note from the Author:

It is important to maintain a healthy diet. Try new things before you decide you don't like them. It's okay to have discrepancies among your peers or different opinions when it comes to social, economic, or political issues, but it's never a bad thing to just sit down and talk with someone who holds a different perspective. Try to understand their perspective, it's not permanent, it's okay to have discussions and disagree in the end. A lot of people nowadays lack the ability to listen or hold an open mind, and it's very important to do so. You don't have to agree with the other side, but polarizing yourself on the other end makes you just as good as those you resent so harshly. The biggest issue that separates so many people is that once someone has decided that they're right, they're right, and they refuse to talk to anyone who thinks differently. People will always disagree, and attempting to make everyone think the same thing is an impossible and immoral feat. The only way anything works out is when two opposing sides discover a middle ground from where they can both operate and work in harmony. It will never be perfect, and it will never be the way you want. Two sides that can not find the middle ground will both always be wrong. So someday you'll have to decide if you want to be wrong or fair, and in turn, accepted.
