Life As We Know It

is this life all an illusion,
a lie perpetuaated by ruling heirarchies ,
to us that live below.
to keep control they gave us the lie
of religion
of work
ruled by bosses to divert the truth from all.
encouraged to have families ,
creating workers to feed the hive ,
protecting the kings and queens alive.
centuries past the lies grew  and spread,
making us wish we were dead,
then consciousness grew and light grew,
awakening us to ills ,deceits, and hate,
we are only a few with eyes to see
and ears to hear .
using discernment and intuition 
gives the ability to see through lies.
let us combine and grow together,
cleansing this world once and forever.
