new year
same planet
illusions
delusions
deceptions
help many to exist

geography
culture
social institutions
gently nudge the individual into conformity

resistance is quelled by
imposing socially sanctioned
controls
incarceration
reeducation
experiences filled with
illusions
delusions
deceptions

new year
