Reality
Trickles
Distorted
Audio
Clipped
into slight of hand
(check a source)
Mass Media
Out of contect
Harsh pavement
Looking up
(there’s a real world out there)
Snips of video
Revealing
Cut together un-truths
Invent a new work
Fake news rules
Sweep under the carpet
the important
Drag
the moth ball celebrities
to convince
the sheepish masses
(they baa into the night)
Bleat from the rooftop
March through the streets
The
Majority
Does
NOT
rule
Distorted vision
Fade to grey
Snow on the screen
(White Noise)
Push an agenda
Snowflakes revolt
because
They are frozen raindrops
having their name
bastardised
by the weak.
(Get a petition out)
Do NOT tell me
snowflakes
won a war
they cover the ground
in whitewash —
While the silent
Majority
sit at home
in their lives
(normal, remember normal)
in the peace
(take a walk in the country)
in the definition of reality
(read a classic book)
Quell the mass hysteria
From both sides
Instead of stirring
Shred
the Propaganda
(Fade to Obsidian)
That makes for an interesting change!
