It’s best not to think
about why;
it’s just as well believing
what we’re told.
This translates into nothing
we’ve been told
of critical thinking.
Yet the mind opens so much
as to even admit
fault.
Culture is not thought
but absorbed –
its weaknesses not only words
but innocence
wherein they’re learned.
The broken cycles they begin
crimp the tangents
of invention.
