Lie, It's the New Truth Or King of That Hill
In acknowledging a moment
In appeasing friends' and relatives' real-time expectations
Yarns of lies
Were spread evenly on our fields of gold
Like a spider we spun, spin and map our web of mistruth
We build layers upon layers of suppositions
Some would say
Its mainly for our protection
Some would smirked and claimed
Its their birth right bright rite entitlement
:) :) :) ;)
And would boast on their supposed cleverness
On a platform socially welcomed
As the ultimate medium
If lie was the new truth
I rather be on my own
I rather not having plastic friends for my company
For when we professed lie as the new truth
We read ourselves
As a book created to preach on rhetorical ideals
Meteorical actualization
After sacrificing every available greens we set our eyes on
Standing on the highest peak
Stark naked
Wearing nothing but our fractal nano-clothing
Grinning happily at our make-believe achievement
It's just that this time
Not a single kid would care to point out the obvious
For they too
Too occupied with their artificial tangible cold handheld iron
The invisible hand had ceased to make its grand entrance
Fool's folly fulfilled
Triumph to the masses
