It Is What It Is

It is What it is – weasel words for our times We live in an age Of the weasel words Orwellian thought police run amuk Words used as weapons To limit critical thought And avoid rational thought These words are everywhere Few question them Most fall in line Hypnotized lobotomized by these weasel words the president is a master of using words as political weapons to demonize his opponents to browbeat them into submission throwing up mental traps around them it is what it is what does that even mean what is the it that is and what is the reason that it is what it is no one can answer no one really knows it is what it is after all and who are you to question the President’s reality? And so it goes The endless parade Of the weasel words That have corrupted Our minds and our very souls Doing what they are designed to do Shutting down our critical thinking As we all submit to the needs Of the corporate system That has taken over the world And that is the meaning Of it is what is
