Wouldn't it be nice
In an unreal world
If we were to announce
Our agendas
At the beginning of
Our conversations?
Hi my name is Manea
And my agenda
Is to entertain
As I also enlighten
You.
Hi my name is Whatever
And my agenda is
I don't give a shite
What you have to say
Because I just
Want you to listen
To me.
Actors dissect scripts
And from the text
Look for subtext
And tactics
Objectives
And agendas…
Then promptly forget
Once they leave
The stage
Or camera
That these things
Go on with
Every conversation.
Everyone has an
Agenda
Persons,
corporations,
Management,
religious sects,
Political Parties,
And so on
And so forth.
What's the point?
Even peace
Is an agenda…
The nobility
Or lack thereof
Is irrelevant…
Awareness.
Beware.
Be aware.
Listen.
Discern.
From there,
Do what you will
You will anyway.
