Propaganda

Power up all circuits go

The flickering of lights

It’s so captivating now

And my mind’s sucked in

A box in the corner of the room

I reside my mind behind the glass

The matters of my life will have to wait

Entrapped, I sink into my own escape

My exit from this reality

A better life, easier at least

Examining, hoping for guidance in our life

It feeds us lies, but I guess we don’t mind

So welcome to the prison of our intellect

Only serving propaganda at feeding time

And we eat it like it’s meat

And now wash it down with some marketing

Biasing their opinions to the masses

All in all to get their numbers up

Training the dogs to attack and crucify

The ones they want to mark for dead

Taking our self worth for hostage

If you’re not “this” then you’re nothing they advertise

Planting the obscene in young eyes

Spreading roots, infiltrates their growing minds

And it feeds and feeds and it still needs

Filling up the greedy pockets

Behind the screen

We the people have turned into drones

Reacting to the cues, blind

We cannot be just pawns at fingertips

Take back your mind

Pocket full of poems and endless chivalry

She can’t wait for her prince charming to come

And sweep her from her feet

He wants his goddess with ageless skin and burning passion

We yield false expectations from Hollywood seeds

Yet we turn back to the screens

Reigns We have to take back the reigns

We won’t become the cultural mechanisms

That will turn their gears of greed

And fashion our innocence for gain

It’s time we unplug

Don’t let them displace your convictions

Anymore

Now is the time to sever the ties

This is where we take back our minds
