Everyone was well aware

that I was well aware
of their game of cruel control
to seize all sovereignty
by finding ways to paint me
as imbalanced, lacking
in success and sanity.

This I always knew and fought
fiercely as a child and
then decade after decade.
This was the game I knew
and I grew tired of it
so I left them to it
as it seemed a circus ruse.

What I failed to see until
more recently was that
it seems you got paid to play
said game and everyone
said yes. My guess is they all
chipped in some crazy here
and a little crazy there.

But crazy will have its way
with those who lack respect,
whether false accusers or
dark arts practitioners.
It sounds like Harry Potter
but lacks intelligence.
Their story is full of holes.
