Tantalising tales of galvanising affirmations
Excavated through those falsifying admirations
Quieting the conscience from acting out of placement
But who are we to point out those hilarious acclimations
All of us have somehow acceded
To societal allegiance
Modified collegiates of life lessons and reasons
Magnified treatments now obvious to those who seek it
Elites manipulate the masses like its easy
Thoughts and emotions intertwined with the facetious
The veil between truth the lies now simply appearing
like a relic of the past that’s no longer appealing.
Since time immemorial we’ve been clawing and heaving
to fight against oppressors and tyrants and those who keep it,
the truth of the world a currency to use and steal it
to buy small gains while masses of people feel it.
Starving for food and truth while seeming wild and raving
and those on top simply paint it how they see fit
Conspiracies and rhetoric blasted on every station.
The truth is melted under mountains of empty pages,
Buried along with people’s last hopes and cravings
Inciting the life of degeneracy and containment
Arbitrary standards now roam free from abatement
Distracted with small crumbs and entertainment
Rights shoved deep down to the basement
While they laugh at the ease of abasement.
