Open mindedness.

They placed the gloves upon their hands
and a mask upon their mouths,
a sterile environment
to achieve an open mind.

They set a timer
if the time ran past
it’d be accepted
as long as the mind expanded
and the closed off sections
were cut and spread open.

When the cutters were done
the body would be closedminded no longer
although with an open mind
how could they be sure
that their agenda would be fulfilled
how could they be sure that their thoughts
would be the ones this new version would agree with?

A long pause
as the body sat on the table.

“Shit, lets add a few road blocks
just to be sure
we don’t want them to be confused
being totally openminded will leave them open
vulnerable to all the wrong choices
and all the wrong opinions
shit, close it up completely
just make sure our agenda is all that’s left
for we are always right
and they were always wrong before.
