Hidden In Plain Sight

HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT Some said it was coming, even imminent But it’s actually here now, and for real A New World Order no longer a theory Such that of TV news we should be leery What we think we know, or what we feel Could it all be to our ultimate detriment No need for violent protests or anti-vax Smiles, as protest movements seem insane Shadows have control behind the scenes It will be finally sorted by counting beans And won’t be long till we’re all young again Fake news will include just enough facts With the trend of an ageing population The balance of misery can subtly shift Those who earn will pay even more tax As top decision makers cover their tracks And genuine questions given short shrift Democratic views become an aberration Unlike Lord Flashheart in Black Adder With that exuberant ignorant attitude The puppeteers hold very long strings Politicians dance doing stupid things Few now will believe any platitude At least that doesn’t make us sadder But there’s never a good day to die Unlike a budget film, poorly directed Comedy is flushed away in a torrent What was once accepted, now abhorrent By modern rules all are now affected With new standards we must comply
