Earth Groans - Propaganda

Power up all circuits go The flickering of lights It’s so captivating now And my mind’s sucked in

A box in the corner of the room I reside my mind behind the glass The matters of my life will have to wait Entrapped, I sink into my own escape

My exit from this reality A better life, easier at least Examining, hoping for guidance in our life It feeds us lies, but I guess we don’t mind

So welcome to the prison of our intellect Only serving propaganda at feeding time and we eat it like it’s meat And now wash it down with some marketing

Biasing their opinions to the masses All in all to get their numbers up Training the dogs to attack and crucify The ones they want to mark for dead

Taking our self worth for hostage If you’re not “this” then you’re nothing they advertise Planting the obscene in young eyes Spreading roots, infiltrates their growing minds

And it feeds and feeds and it still needs Filling up the greedy pockets Behind the screen

We the people have turned into drones Reacting to the cues, blind We cannot be just pawns at fingertips Take back your mind

Pocket full of poems and endless chivalry She can’t wait for her prince charming to come and sweep her from her feet He wants his goddess with ageless skin and burning passion

We yield false expectations from Hollywood seeds Yet we turn back to the screens

Reigns We have to take back the reigns We won’t become the cultural mechanisms That will turn their gears of greed And fashion our innocence for gain

It’s time we unplug Don’t let them displace your convictions Anymore

Now is the time to sever the ties This is where we take back our minds
