Stupid Properganda

I as myself as did countless other folk
I witnessed today

Going about our daily mundane day
to day chores

Passed through the square where
a man stood there with unkempt
disregard for his very own personal
grooming

Underneath a sign he had himself
wrote on a piece of cardboard he
had obviously dig out the trash

He held up with both of his hands
as high as he possibly could above
head so everyone was able to see

With a message displayed on it
which read

Keep calm and carry on regardless

We have all of us got this under control

Our role is simply rather to not to question
but follow 

Everything we are told by the power's
that be that are currently in charge of
the future of all us

And no matter however implausible nor
insane they seem or appear

Know this 1 thing for sure trust and
believe at the heart of every single
decision 

They might make and be forced into
take they sincerely do on all behalf

Is with both heavy and our very best
interests at heart

Otherwise ask yourself this why on
earth would we have taken the decision
in the 1st place

To use you and offer you up as merely
sacrificial pawns unless we didn't initially
think we could or thought you wouldn't
let us get away with it

But so confident are we and cemented
in our beliefs that you are so inherently 
stupid

We took a vote on a show of hand's and
it passed with such a majority

We then all though unto ourselves
oh what the hell let's give it a go 

What is the worst possible outcome
that could happen

Much like every and other day before 
and tomorrow again
