We don’t know anything much no not so much at all
by Shaina
None of us ever
Even knows what we
Think I
Have come to know, which
To be exactly unhypocritical
Would be more of an, “I
Have come to suspect,”
Knowing is hard so
Very hard I
Heard
A girl go on a passionate
Rant at the bar and
She knew all she
Said but from a fact
Standpoint, she was wrong
So maybe not knowing as
I suspected she did not
Know. The thing
About now is Trump
Which makes me consider
America is not was not
Ever the good place like
What dream yes there
Were are some good things
But to reminisce on teachings
I would argue American history
As well as many lessons
Taught to young American students
Are not truths or facts as much
As perceptions handed down
Through the most widely prescribed
culture/ dominance/ situation.
The word propaganda is one
I enjoy using to describe
Most things that seem subjective,
Even slightly, like old cooking
Principles not rooted
In science or our
Landlord’s promise of laundry in the
Building but I digress
I have come to think of
Thinking and the questions are so mean
And arbitrary but loud, have credence.
Like is it important
To rise in power and financial freedom before
Expressing generosity to those who have nothing
What is a citizen and why are they so popular
Why is seventy percent of the week
Supposed to be work
How can there be hell for the
Love people at all
Who the fuck is Jesus Christ and
Would society be about as
Fucked if a group of babies
Survived an apocalypse and found the
Harry Potter series and adopted it as
Their bible but only some
Of the babies found the later books
With Sirius Black involved or whatever the
Appropriate analogy is
Is it hard to make your baby a good person
Why is every debate about a
Them
How can I write or talk
When it’s all questions and no
Beliefs or why is it
Squirming to express the
Simple values I do have to people
Who say that they know but who
Don’t
I would say the one knowance I
Have approached is that bad is from
Fear; no confident and capable person
Ever is bad, no not truly, no they are not I
Seem to notice and approach knowing that
thing.
