Pandora's Box Switched On

Pandora's Box

Is truly alive and well

Thriving to this very day 

Streaming and beaming away

Into the vast majorities of family homes

Not actually opened 

But rather willingly freely 

Switched on under the misguided illusion

We believe and buy into it to be 1 part entertainment

And 2 part information and knowledge

Based upon truth and facts to impart 

And like Pandora's Box itself 

Once it has been opened up and out 
the box 

The damage is already done and can no
longer thereafter able to be put back in

As although you believe you think you
are in complete and utter control

What you are in truth doing is handing
over and surrendering 

Your own free will and thinking 

To being remotely mind controlled 

Into being used like a pawn and moved
in every direction they so choose 

And if you don't try to resist or choose
to switch off or ignore

1 of 2 thing's will eventually happen to you

They will either lock you or put you back
in the box

Or you will end up finding yourself being
on it instead

And not in or under a good or flattering light

But rather in they way and means 

They intended it to be used

As the most powerful and far reaching

Propaganda tool ever able to directly access

Not the few

But

The Masses 

And since the youth of the future are the
single most important and crucial ingredient

And integral part of the overall plan 

Don't seem to care or watch t.v that much 
anymore

They created an even bigger better and more
elaborate tool especially to reel them in as well

And even I am now currently using it at this
very moment

In order to gain access to the internet 
via the world wide social platform web

Something that once upon a time was
simply merely just a phone

Which now virtually every single person
has and carriers on with them constantly daily

Who now are lost and can not or seem to 
be or are unable to go

Half a second thinking about without it being

Either in their be that bag or pocket

Or glued to their hand

Perfectly executed as originally planned

A phone contact is even advertised and 
marketed 

To you as your own individual phone
plan with your personal permission 

And it does exactly what it says on the
tin or box it comes in

It's each and every government's and 
global corporation's 

Wet dream come true 

Sponsored willing entered bough into
and paid for bye 

Every single individual one of us who
now have and use one 

And that's including me as well
