“The Triumph of Goodness"
If only the reality
was like cartoons
like teenager books and stories
or like the countless movies and soap operas
produced specially for the naïve
in which goodness triumphs at the end…
Anyone who follows the reality of the world
closely and deeply,
shall find that the triumph of goodness
is nothing but
a myth
a trick
created by the evildoers themselves
to trick us into thinking that goodness, honesty, and virtues
win in the end…
The world turns upside down
when we discover that
all these good and well-selected virtues
are nothing but myths fabricated
by the vicious and the evil ones
to permanently maintain their control over the naïve
who believe that goodness triumphs
just like at the end of movies…
