The Empire of Lies

The Empire of Lies

By Smaller Than Galaxies
October 28, 2017

Think for yourself they'll tell you,
But you'll never agree,
Because you want no liberty.

Even though it is all or nothing,
A willingness to die by those values,
But they'll tell you that you're incompetent,
While they steal another set of data.

Quietly from the cradle,
And you'll think that's fine and okay,
As you watch another show and simply lay.

They want you to be politically minimal and vote the same,
Because it is cause for a simple aim,
To vote for everything to be as it once was,
The counter will buzz as the state lives on.

The surface level is easy, quick, and enjoyable,
Just 140 characters of freedom are enough.

Everything else is far too hard,
Because propaganda is still easy even in democracy,
Despite the fact that it's all fucking hypocrisy,
We'll never be free until you're willing to see,
That in the empire of lies truth is treason.
