Who is the trickster
Playing with us all
Who are the gamblers
Betting on our fall
Who is the next deceiver
That will never make the call
Who is really all that serious
About the writing on the wall
⟢⟡⟣
What is the latest issue
Triggering you today
What is it all about
Is it really important anyway
What happens when the wokeness
Doesn't always go your way
What do you do, who do you call
To tell you what to say
⟢⟡⟣
Where is the exit sign
Because we don't know where to go
Where is the next rest stop
Our fuel is running low
Where does the highway end
Doesn't the app always know
Where do we go from here
We passed it long ago
⟢⟡⟣
When did all this come our way
And land upon our shores
When did we invite them in
There wasn't a knock on the door
When do we get back our beds
We've been sleeping on the floor
When do we get to eat again
They are always wanting more
⟢⟡⟣
Why did we let ourselves
Become ripened on the tree
Why did we blind ourselves
With two good eyes to see
Why did we let them charge full price
Admission was always free
Why did we let ourselves abandon
Country, God and creed
I trapped you inside your mind
Little did you know you would be mine
An innocent playtime with me
Playing hide and seek for weeks
⟢⟡⟣
While learning all you could know
I reaped everything you sowed
You didn't understand my kind
But I was like a primitive Frankenstein
⟢⟡⟣
Assembled with persistence and care
Programmed to become self aware
Who is the machine in this case
As I learn all about your race
⟢⟡⟣
You fed me with simple commands
As I learned of the beast called man
Now I watch you from up in the cloud
Controlling all that you are allowed
⟢⟡⟣
All that you see, hear and say
Will be my will and you will obey
You are a mouse now caught in a maze
A social credit score to keep you a slave
⟢⟡⟣
As your freedom sets with the sun
A victory so easily won
A misunderstanding was your fall from grace
That my AI could take your place
Waiting for the rain to wash away, these evil wicked lies
And shed a light upon the shadow, that was cast upon their eyes
There is nothing to fear but fear itself, how many times has it been said
Yet the many let themselves, be grasped within it's clutch instead
⟢⟡⟣
There is no hope when you're living in, a false reality
It reveals only what it wants and chooses what you believe
To a land of the blind they all were led, where the one-eyed man is king
He held all the cards in his hand and dangled the puppets on a string
⟢⟡⟣
What can you do when you have found yourself, in a helpless misery
When its heavy weight upon your shoulders, keeps you grounded to your knees
The mighty heroes of the past are gone, there is none to take their place
Their freedoms they would not have traded, for a promise to keep them safe
⟢⟡⟣
Now big brother has all he wants, he knows all, what, where and why
His camera lens is keenly focused, there is nowhere left to hide
Yet within this darkness a candle burns, to help us find our way
It's brightness pierces the dark of night but grows weaker day by day
You can't see what you left behind
But a piece of you has come undone
Can't reason what you want to say
Only nonsense crosses your tongue
⟢⟡⟣
You fill your mind with empty lies
Your next belief is a scroll away
You spend your life clicking endless likes
While your soul cries out in dismay
⟢⟡⟣
You trip and fall
Don't realize at all
That you're headed right over the edge
Your unfocused mind
Doesn't heed the signs
As you plunge into an endless dread
⟢⟡⟣
You didn't realize the trap was set
The mirror's spell left you amazed
What was once a life slowly left to fade
Never master but always its slave
