The Overseers

They sit high – very high
in their echelons of such great importance,
where they can look down 
on us
(all the millions of us excluded
from their exclusive group) -
from the penniless and the ever-struggling souls
to the middle class and even
to many of the upper classes -
Oh, the countless souls they have convinced
 that their falsehoods are truths.
With money and with powerful connections,
and with the "so-called" science of those they bribe
to push their falsehoods,
they have insinuated themselves
into every organization of great importance,
where their ultimate purposes 
can best be carried out.

The “Cancel Culture” originated with them,
for they try to silence those who oppose them.
They cause their messages
to be imprinted on the minds
of the masses through endless repitition
in the conventional media that they control. 
This constant regurgitation of their messages
becomes the belief system 
of nearly the entire global community.

They talk and talk and talk,
feigning interest in OUR best interests
as they sit high – very high
planning out an end game
which does not really 
have all that much longer
to be played out.

The pharaohs had their slaves and it's always been the rich controlling the rest...however, if one looks at life back then and now, I believe we have progressed into better situations overall...we can't just take a stance against all world leaders and politicians when half of us don't even want to do such a thankless job...if it's all going to end soon, thank goodness! My own cynicism is getting tiresome.. :)

Susan, I know your feelings from what I've seen at blogs, etc where you aired your opinions. I guess I am what is labelled a conspiracy theorist, and I know not everything I believe is true. At the same time, I think I am onto things that some people are not catching onto and my experiences with Big Pharma have led me in this direction (among other things). I would like to think YOU are the correct one. Time will tell us, dear.

Ohh... wee... wow. Your voice rings truth. Brilliant writing. God bless you always with love, Gina

I have a feeling this is the real truth. We are nothing but puppets in the hands of the powerful. Malta is a prime example.

Rockefellers, Bill gates, Fauci, past presidents, all the major world leader players (inluding ours and China). That is just to name a very few!!!
