It seems we’re part

Of a grand deception

Steadily growing

From its inception

With twists and turns

The plot does thicken

And each new day

The mood does quicken

To push us further

Forward and faster

Constructing around us

An unfolding disaster

It’s hearts and minds

They want to break

And more than time

That they do take

For as they seek

To have control

They’re chipping away

At your life and soul

Hopes and dreams

A memory faded

They want you stressed

And somewhat jaded

So you’ll lay down

And not resist

To accept their plan

That you’ll merely exist

For their whims and wants

And experiment

But both sides are holding

And will not relent

~

This will go to the bitter end
