a ****** of Crows
gather Carpe Diem;
fluffing their throat feathers,
commiserating
the dead-weight
each unshod foot
bending the world below
the horde of cleft feet align
leaving no footprint behind ―
bowing the antique
frayed telephone wire
party-line swaying with the wind
over the washed out road;
at any moment
the land-line
might break
from the overload ―
downcast,
abandoned,
level with the ground ―
but no one
on earth
even cares ...
they've got
the whole world
in their palm
beneath the sky ―
and the crows
have wings
to fly away ...

We are being deceived
In a world of make-believe
We don’t know
How far How deep Falling we go
through the motions in our sleep.
Down Down Down our soul chance leap
Mind control is everywhere.
We don’t have to sync or care.
We live perpetually in a bubble
Our goal is to keep out of trouble
Constantly questioning what to say what to do
Going through the motions without a clue
Government officials are the Pied Piper’s.
Their rhetoric is impossible to decipher
They say they have our back
But do they? they talk on our behalf loosing track
They say whatever will get them elected
Pretending to care Aspiring to be affective
However once they drink Power
Bait and switch it’s their agenda hour.
They started with the schools
Removing the Golden Rules
Reprogramming fertile minds
Who seek clarity sincerity blind truth as defined
School board’s controversial concepts rearranges
Parents are not allowed to question the changes
Helicopter parents gone Most were out of touch.
Paying attention to their children not that much
Doctrine taught; question defy young and old
They regurgitated what they were told
Separating the parent from the mild child
Right now wrong gave birth to Child Wild
Wrong now right violence push to a fight.
Indoctrinating radical agenda is their plight
Protest against the system Push comes to shove
Upheaval weapons pipe in hand fits like a glove
Ignorant, trusting played being used unwittingly
They demand it But never obtain it Transparency
AI is the ultimate next move on Humanity
Smart city track ALL loss of freedom nitty gritty
A lifetime of Control in every mandatory shot.
Eyes wide open eugenics Now see their plot
Take back our Freedom paid for in Blood
Close the gates Stop the flood
