the innocent pays the most

Propaganda trumps humanity,
and humanity is sold to the highest bidder,
terror and chaos, the monsters game.
While...the innocent, pays the most!

But it was the monsters who lit the flame,
now, their hands are blood stained,
conquer and divide, the road to their end game.
While...the innocent, pays the most!

 The monsters hide within the shadows ,
so their maddening agenda can be fulfilled,
sacrificing their own, just to satisfy their need.
While...the innocent, pays the most!

Senses are invaded by violence and the horrors of war,
and watch, man's inhumanity towards fellow man,
as each side tally up the points, adding to their score,
While...the innocent, pays the most!

The monsters projection of the blame,
lives inside the propaganda, invading  our stare,
as we sit in the safety, of our comfy chairs.
While...the innocent, pays the most

 Manipulations seep from prejudices shadows,
targeting the vacant minds that stare into the light,
ignoring the truth, as the truth hides behind the guilty shame
of those who choose todays trending issue.
While...the innocent, pays the most!

Delusion chants the false use of words,
and the words true meaning hides within that delusion,
facts, exaggerated and askew, become  the narrative line.
While...the innocent, pays the most!

The trends blast dark delusions,
as the light shines into harvested minds,
 empty of self-thought, the blind just follow.
While...the innocent, pays the most!

I feel we are about to face the most challenging time that humanity hasn't seen before and we need to be united not divide as we are now seeing
