Ubiquitous Assimilation

Why, o why, do we soak it all up?
Take it all in without a slurp.
As if it was the whole truth,
God’s truth!
Why, o why, do we accept
Everything and all things we listened,
And saw, and felt?
Why do we sulk into this
Pit of dullness and numbness?
Why, o why, do we assimilate
This ubiquitous threat?
Who deafened our conscience?
Who bribed our minds?
To settle for a trend,
A trash, no less!
Why, o why, do we doublethink?
Why say one thing,
And do the very inverse?
Why think right,
But act different?
Why partly truth,
And in part fiction?
Why, a walking contradiction?
Why, o why, do we integrate,
This unending infinite!
