What Does the Eye Command
The eye wants you to believe
the eye sees everything
it cannot see
your identity
the eye is scared of all your dreams
it fears your individuality
The eye wants you to be
only what it can be
the eye is blind
the eye only believes
what it wants you to believe
depriving you of your spirituality
force you to struggle
dictates your survival
robs you of your own lives
The eye is filled with terror
in panic of its dependence
the eye for all its self-importance
is a quivering coward
the eye cannot stand alone
but will force you to worship
its golden throne
while in its own filth
the eye will wallow
The eye is just a system
searching for lifeless significance
the eye knows you are a switch
with a flip to turn your attention off
disconnect to reconnect
but the eye will punish all the militants
The eye wants to own you
it has no other purpose
its vanity is the empty ghost
the threat of losing its possessions
is all the eye truly knows
The eye is weak it is fragile
the eye as breakable as an eggshell
if you see the eye
it will shatter
and all its deception unravel
The eye hides
it is not hidden
those who worship the eye
are not empowered
like the eye
a quivering coward
keeping concealed behind a veil
their intention to dupe you
so the eye can use you
for its Brave NEW World
The eye will tell you
you are the enemy
killing you off is therefore necessary
but the eye won't tell you
how much it needs you
how much of its life
feeds off of you
all you will see
all you will know
is what the eye chooses to show
Self aggrandizement
is the sickness of the eye
the eye will tell you
the most prodigious threats
only come from yourself
the eye will deny any danger to you
from itself
The eye is not the symbol of freedom
it is the gate keeper of your prison
you are the anomalies
the inexplicable focus
the eye is desperate to conceal
the eye has no concept
of all the things you think and feel
the eye will deny who and what you are
it will brand you
standardize you
then laugh while it tricks you
fools of the all powerful
EYE
The eye will tell you everything's OK
it's just another crunch time day
a day you would have to live through anyway
but don't worry
the eye will guide you
the eye will inform you
the eye will keep you
very, very safe
The eye cannot survive
without you
the eye is a parasite
the eye is terrified
one day you may open your EYE
and see another world
“It was there that he made himself a new disguise, an image of hate and malice" .
The Silmarillion.
