the cataracts are constructed
in the name of convention.
respect for rules and regulations
must be planted in virgin lands
before weeds grow or
desertification occurs.


the cataracts are enforced
slowly
quickly
with hugs with slaps
with bribes and time-outs
until they become
natural mono-culture plantations
of a blinding verdure.


and so inexhaustible questions are
cowed into submission by the
evasions lies weariness disinterest botheration
single-mindedness
of stymied minds
that have long lost
and ceased to wonder what,
let alone, why.

A prose describing the Dunning Kruger Effected society we live in. Unique!

I didn't know the condition had a name. I'll check it up. Thanks.
