even if these thoughts
are Compromised,
does it matter?
they feel real
just like they could
win the War
and change everything
as we know it

The Head of Radio
has died.
Video Queen
has taken over
the Transmissions
but our brainwaves
remain saved
for now

The Truth,
persevered in tar
far from the nearest star
dormant for centuries
until
it's revived with
the latest specific scientific
invention
intent
on saving the world

The Truth
it swirled and twirled inside
you hurled at the thought
the Compromised thought,
that you're alone

patrol the outskirts
of your mind
Not knowing what you'll find
but making sure all is checked
before you go for Checkmate
But it's too late
This game has gone on too long
and it has become a Stalemate

neither win nor lose
but Ego is bruise
causing the compromising
thoughts to be born
begot upon itself
