The truth is shocking

What sort of shock to the system

Will it take to wake you up,

To make you take notice

How we are messing this world up,

Then deny our relationship in climate change

Like your heads stuck in the mud

And deny man’s inhumanity

Though the rivers flow with blood,

Of all innocent people who are collateral damage in their games

They’re not worried about war or the environment each day,

All they they are interested in is profit and their nett gains,

These greedy corporate giants

Exploiting in the name of progress

But the truth it’s in the name of filling their own pockets,

While we just sit back as passive observers

Compliant in the name of being seen as patriotic,

As you swallow their bullshit rhetoric,

As the domesticated sheep we are to all of those who rule

Or use us as their corporate tools,

To be exploited and to be fooled

By the fake. Edit and the fake news,

By the biggest fakes in society who govern me and you.

  4. I could sense the general discomfort with the system here. I like the point you are making here Commander Fauxcroft.

    Why I call you Commander and not a Sergeant as usual? Well that’s because I nominated you for the Quill Commander Award. 😀 I hope it’s not too much for you friend. 😀 https://dronstadblog.wordpress.com/2018/01/18/300-followers-checkpoint-reached-quill-commander-award
