………and they say I’m mental!

 

 

     I hate to say this People,

But you’re all being watched

For your lies and deceit,

     And if you knew,

If you knew just how disgusting

We’ve all become,

     You would know that

When they play the footage

Back, your very own self

Would give you the creeps.

 

     You’re saying one thing to yourself,

And differently express

Your belief in others and we all know,

You just wanna impress,

Wanna up your status

And declare yourself immense,

     And you’re walking to the Polling Booth

With your heads firmly screwed up,

And you cannot see the grinning

Beast stood next to you,

     The Monoatomic Gold

Concealing his presence,

     And it’s been going on all your life,

And you would,

You would grimace if you only knew

What they choose to play back.

 

     I wouldn’t mind so much,

But, we all think we are innocent and

In the main we are,

For we don’t understand

Until we realize that the game

Is firmly stacked against us

As we carry our own self importance

To the cinema upon demise,

And only then, will

You realize just how guilty

And complicit we really are

While there are those with

Nothing dying deaths inside their hearts,

 

     But,

If you’re wise,

Take a bow at each juncture

Of your life,

For we’re all being watched by Gods

Who grin and snide at every

Insincerity you prove yourself to be –

And it cannot be helped,

Not here,

     Not while media

Determines you remain

Ignorant of your fellow man,

Your brother,

Your sister,

No matter which colour

Or caste you claim belong,

     None are free,

And maybe you’ll realize one

Day the wrongs you have done,

And the wrongs you have endured,

     I hope you do,

For you won’t look

So self-important,

You won’t claim you’re so genuine,

You won’t claim you’re smart

While watching yourself

On the big screen,

Filling in the voting card

With the pencil that can

Be erased to reflect

The transparency you are,

Then and only then,

Will  your true vote be cast

By the grinning beasts

Who’ve been watching every move you’ve made,

     Bringing about another war

Just to see who runs,

And just to see who dares!
