Weekly Expressions 3.1 ~ TJ

 

We live in your homes, we live in your mind,
we are what you turn to for answers,
we are who you turn to for lies. 

Not the lies, of course, that are obvious to see,
but rather than the harshness of reality,
we give a vision of what could be,

You want to know about the war, but do you really?
Sure, your loved ones fight,
but we'll tell you their cause is silly,

You want to know about the money, is it truly safe?
Stupid ignorant! Of course it is!
It's locked away safely in my private case,

You want to know about the food, will it run out?
Fear not, for we will work the farmers straight into the ground, have no doubt,

You want to know of the energy, will it always flow?
It will, if you swear your dollars to us,
 and every cent you ever know.

You want to know of the children, will they learn?
Rest assured, we will teach them all they need to know, have no concern

You want to know of the elders, will they have care?
Who cares about the old and sick?
We have our own world we must prepare!

You want to know of yourself, will you be okay?
Of course, we know what's best for you,
so do as you're told every day,

Don't try to resist us, don't dare to try and fight this,
you'll have better luck using a kitchen spatula to carve out a virus,

You asked for us, you trusted us to know the truth,
but now we have infected your entire lives,
even begun to recruit your youth,

But now that you see, you may be thinking to yourself,
"who are you? Where did you come from?
How did you get on my shelf?"

Once again, the answer is awfully easy,
but it will make you more than a little queasy,

Who are we? What do we do? 

It's so obvious I can't believe you couldn't see it! 

Who are we? 

We are you.
