Biased figures manipulate opportunities
Power has reigned since the dawn of time
Spitting rhetoric laced with dry ambiguities
False sincerity acted out in full pantomime
Dreams are aborted before even catching breath
Harsh reality of being worked and taxed to death
Programmed from a young age to conform
Most are burned out before reaching thirty
Riding out the calm straight into a shitstorm
Only way to quit the lie is going cold turkey
Hope is the idea that peace and love will win out
While living in a world built on a shadow of doubt

This post, at first blush, leaves me with what to disagree with. After a second read, and seeing the layers underneath, it is powerful and insists that one consider it on the deeper level. Many thanks and blessings. <3 Echo

Totally agree…
We got a shitstorm of rhetoric and meaningless ambiguity to wade through. I remember the term “Double Speak” from Orwell’s 1984. So legitimate. The dude had the future pegged.
What we need round here is another Nostradamus and some hymnals.
Great write
