you wake up in the morning to a headache

so many lies
devour us daily
in this recycling
pit
of forked tongues,
of scab encrusted throats,
burning for another
excuse
to let the farce continue.

lies from your peers.
lies from your officials.
lies from the bloody mouths,
trying to keep control over you.

windbags and blabbermouths
screwing the truth around
to fit their particular idea of need.

it's because the truth is so painful,
such a hardened reality
that if
it were told,
none of us would want to believe.

they lay on the spin
and twist the words
to create a shred of truth
under the misinformation.
it has never been about
honesty,
it's about what they can
lead you
to believe.

facts
are simply the
best case scenario
for any given
point in time,
and they use this
to fit whatever need
may come up
to lead you away from
whatever it is
they don't want you to know.

it's not just a war anymore,
it's a campaign for freedom,
for democracy
rather than the control they happen
to want
to establish
for a higher degree of servitude.

it's not just a war on drugs,
it's a pharmaceutical onslaught
to make sure you're using
the drugs they want
you to use.

it's not one political party
against another,
it's just one system
leading you in the direction
they need you to follow
in order to
keep you off the track of what
they are really trying to accomplish.

we have become so out of touch
that they could tell us they're giving
us
National Healthcare,
and we would think they're
doing it for us,
doing something in our favor
when they're really
just trying
to divert our attention
from the fact
that we're already dead.
