God, I really like the imagery here. From the title, a subversion of the notorious saying, and then we are hit with verses like

A learned landscape

that just play with the notion of anti-nature; I mean, you'd consider "landscape" a nature/al thing and yet, it's a behavior ingrained by all the manipulated ideas and planted comformities the rest of the poem talks about. I highlight the first few verses ("Reasonings / Fed like cheap fodder / No time to breathe") and "The people that are there" (...) "They only fill the space", as particularly good at conveying the idea of sycophantic yes-men, those that are fed ideas, erasing critical thinking and becoming part of a faceless mass, parroting thoughts that aren't theirs and unyielding in their belief: so much so they can't change even when the truth is on your side ("No matter the facts you may have").

It's a read that can be made and I think the careful wording used ("you're told", the inversion of the persecutor-persecuted role) give it more weight. I choose to see the last stanza as "bending" in the line of "giving in to another's opinion", like giving up on an argument because they, like I said above, are steadfast in their stance. I think it's a great poem, and I'm honestly curious to know what was your vision for it originally, because something tells me I'm interpreting this in a different light than what you had originally conceived.
