Propaganda

Propaganda.
A weapon. A tool.
Used to indoctrinate the minds of ignorant fools
Abused by those who thrive off others misfortune 
An enemy to those who are innocent 
A friend to those with cruel intentions 

Worldwide communications, spreads messages quickly
A large system to control everything -
Public perception
A way to turn heads, a misdirection
To the real problem of those elected - 
Those that are oppressors
Using the method of strategic indoctrination 
Propaganda that spreads across the nations

Privilege blinds the ignorant
Their lack of empathy makes them complicit
Propaganda preys on the ego of those unaffected by the lies it spreads
Silence becomes their offence
It's easy to escape accountability, 
When you have the masses eating out of its hands 
Spewing hate to infiltrate the minds of idiocy 
Used as weapons then, 
To discriminate against those with black skin

Simple words contorted -
Twisted, manipulated to become what they are not used as -
Racist rhetoric 
Media a system of mind control
Built off of the nature of human greed
Of humans strive to power
And accessibility to it 
People crave power and will betray black for it 
Power is owned by the white man -
They weaponise it for a master plan
To segregate black and non black, 
To instill hate 
And to create a system we can't escape
