Propaganda

 

Press Play.

Foundation of the piece:

Do you trust everything media companies broadcast?

(A lone voice whispers)

Let that balloon of propaganda and conditioned hate go

So it can disappear and fade like winter snow

Like when Spring comes

Marching in 

With her army of green 

Called Rebirth

To fire life-giving bullets from their green guns 

Into the Earth

As She watches and speaks in tongues 

To embrace the sounds of your own souls redemption drums

When that time 

Finally comes

For even the blind get led by the blind

Cleverly played by those 

Who cast mind spells to bind

So let that balloon float away

Filled with verses that once swayed

Starting today

Therefore, in closing 

Listen carefully what newscasters say

For all words are spells

Particularly poetry

Don't get given a dark balloon of hate by Spellcasters

With minds

Bought with silver pieces of eight

To cast mind spells to bind 

To subjugate

Who are always lying in wait

Smiling sitting in this interconnected world 

Just bought and paid for 

To manipulate
