Propaganda
We are told,
what they want us to hear,
by the media,
and those behind the curtain,
with their own agendas,
their own shows,
in the shadows...
we can barely see,
you and me.
We try hard to believe that those in office,
are there for our best interest.
They are there to vote new laws,
and new ways,
that protect the innocent,
while preserving freedom
for all,
at any,
and all...
cost(s)!
The truth behind the reality,
is a mixture of mud and murk...
the swamp so deep,
it will never drain.
Politics for payment,
Politics for gain,
Politics for trade...
"Your soul... for fame,
so you can reign
over others like a king?"
The judgment that is coming,
is like fire,
from oil on water...
It can not be put out, ever.
It is the ocean boiling,
and
the moon a white ball of heat
overhead...
melting.
away.
There will be no denial,
of complicity.
There will be no excuse for collusion.
Everything you have ever done,
has been seen,
and recorded,
put down,
in the book
of forever
after.
What do you pray is written there?
What do you wish you could erase?
What are the number of your days?
Do you really want to know?
Are you pleased instead,
to listen to the "party" line,
is that just fine?
Or will it be later,
time
to die
forever?
