Swallowed the Lie
Are you not aware of this flailing virus,
This erroneous contagion of mass manipulation,
This corrupt monetary infliction that has enslaved us,
This pervasive forge toward death and destruction?
Awake, awake! End the illusory dream
You have swallowed the lie,
A deadly cocktail in your bloodstream,
A numbing mirage has caught your eye.
I wonder, if a silent revolution
could be effective
Could it restore a global humanity?
Could it be our future is not elective
In the face of universal depravity?
