Stultify ... What?

Today’s word is “stultify” ... to render absurdly or wholly futile or ineffectual, especially by degrading or frustrating means. (Dictionary.com)

What?
It’s difficult to break through,
Emotions that stultify,
They form a foggy cloud,
That hides the facts from eyes.

Facts can be laid out, black and white,
Or bound up in legal pads,
Or in books, carefully explained,
Still, some will be mad.

It fits not well their point of view,
And that is all they need,
So, blinders on, they sally forth,
Minus a mighty steed.
