Nothing Is What It Seems

The world shows us one thing, but behind it, something darker lives. We’re told stories shaped by power, not truth. They write history to fit their plans. They call it help, but it's control. Rich men send poor men to die in wars over land, oil, and power. And we believe it's for freedom. Every minute, a man takes his own life. Every day. But where’s the movement for him? We talk about equality, but some voices are left out. They build us up just to knock us down puppets for their games. We’re fed lies through screens, taught what to think, kept asleep while they move in silence. Some get the best schools. Others are born just to work and serve. Kings stay kings because they’ve locked our minds in cages. Old cities are being uncovered, but we’re told nothing. Technology exists that could change the world but we only see it decades later. They’ve built pyramids we still can’t explain. Billionaires fly to space, but we don’t even understand our own oceans. The world is broken. The truth is buried. But some of us are waking up. And we know: something is coming.
