We live in a time where the strong dominate the weak
A dawning of a new aristocracy
An authoritarian regime
Where all must bend the knee
A time where manicured communication is in vogue
Controlled and manipulated
A time where politicians serve a ruling class
Demigogs expounding their filth
For an elite no longer lurking in the shadows
Proudly wallowing in their own excess
An endgame finally reached
Our minds altered at their whim
Their playthings to dangle
No thought left unbidden
They know us better than we do
With databanks of our private histories
Spanning the ages at their disposal
And their lies stack up and consume all space
Our strings pulled until our deaths
What happened to doing what’s right?
Our moral outrage contained
What happened to our humanity?
