Eye Suppose



The powers that be
show us 
what they want us to see

But the whispering wizards 
behind the veil,
all have an emerald poker tell

The froggy princes that lead
always gon spit
a little grinning white in your pink eye

Swollen blinks won’t fetid kill, 
eye suppose
Just as long as you don’t forget
to cover up your nose

Every Pied Piper wink  wink 
got a nodding Oz vapor stink, 
Toto tear telling you a covetous alibi,
a Dorothy ruby shoes cry

They say they gon make you a ton of gold brick money,
but then silently they secret witchy gon steal it from you
Don’t shut your eyes ... don’t fall for the Dragon Ball Z ruse

The powers that be ,
which fire breath authoritatively,
repeat this phrase often   subliminally:

“Do what we say,
don’t try to free-think
Let not morals get in the way,
of a double cross blink”

I suppose greedy dogs
gotta close their eyes one day
Sleepily lie down in the worm dug hole,
pupil-colored glaucoma grey

to protect existent social norms is the stuff of politicians...propaganda and tv news casters actually saying "we cannot show pictures of the latest war news as it is our job to protect the public"...that was said on tv last week ...protect viewers, adults, from reality?

I like the phonetic spelling, wise words, don't blindly follow, but look and question what you see!
