The Joker- Information Overload

Information Overload

Lost in data,
Lost in tears,

Empty words, promises,
Presented with flowers,

The Truth and the lies,
Together, hand in hand,

Information Overload,
From our waking to our sleep,

Words thrown to take our soul,

Lies raised up,
To the highest Throne,

And yet we know,
Our lives depend on them,

As slowly our Feet,
Sink deeper into Snow,

Information Overload,
With Flashing screens,

The Joker with his charming
Smile,

Waiting for his crown,
In his palace of lies,

Hoping that we will be,
to busy to see,

That the King,
Really,
Has no
Clothes on.
