Engineered And Perfect Fairytale

intense
and damning
intellectual
parasitical structure
of 24hr terrorism
suffocation of our freedom

we get down on our knees
we get down on our knees
we need to feed
upon our daily torment

we obey their engineered
and perfect fairytale
which they have built on
layer upon layer
of cold hearted deceit

the powers that be
march on
feeding upon our obedient stupidity
laughing at each one of us
and all we do is carry on regardless
and all we do is
repeat
the torment and self annihalation
of our forefathers

too afraid to open our eyes
not wanting to make a fuss

like lambs
to the slaughter
we join
the never ending
illusion

the eternal conveyer
belt of slavery
to the system
which we havent
given
our consent to

Lenney...

Ya know, at first I felt this needed to be more specific, but as I let it sink in, I knew it was right as it is... very relative on many levels for us in today's and yesterday's society... and sadly, for the near future as well. critical thinking! thanks for posting. Richard
