Entities from the past
Gently genetically
Caressing the course of our days and our genomes
Simply soothing the sinful satire
Of our waked worliness
Through the existentialistic existence
Of our realities
Teasing us with lies
As we run bravely to our minds
For security in the safety of our soulful journey
Toward the tainted wisdom
Of our misguided mentors whose misinformed madness
Might write our wrongs
For the future fortunate few
To examine expectantly of expressed
Trustworthy truths
William Thomas

What fantastic word usage! I like to play with alliteration too; but I can see I have a lot to learn. It's difficult to choose a single thought or line, but I can't get this one out of my mind: "...the tainted wisdom/of our misguided mentors whose misinformed madness/might write our songs..." And you're right, you know...it happens generation after generation. We can only hope that we pass on a little more truth and understanding than the legacy left to us.
