Deception

THE POWER of CONTROL

Today we live in a perplexed illusion,
Through the journey of life we’ve been conditioned
What we see, read and listen, has the power to redesign our vision
That we value, follow and achieve is now a commodity given.
 
Corporatisation combined with political ideology,
An elaborated  hoax to protect a perceived identity.
Permitting the freedom to vote manipulated what we agree.
The regulation of money resulted in greed and great disfunction
A monetary system, imposing debt for self-existence
Feeding on the consumption of corrosion, leading to consequent erosion.
 
Imagine unifying against democratic dictatorship
revolutionising the world with love and friendship
Lets forget the segmentation of different races
Lets judge by intelligence, not wealth or status
Lets propel reconciliation between divided nations,
Maybe then the truth would prevail and the deception of life be forsaken.

(2013)

Inspired by Occupy Wall St.

Your world is an illusion.
From the day you were born, you have been conditioned. Your schools taught you to be quiet, neutral and numb. Your media desensitized you to the suffering of your fellow human beings and the system slowly isolated you until it somehow felt normal to feel alone on a planet with 8 billion other people on it.
You worked hard for the future with your reward always just around the next corner or just up the next step. Everything was tomorrow but tomorrow never came.

And you realized too late that you had never lived at all. Something was missing and no matter how much you worked, partied or paid you could not disguise it. You accepted it as natural for one to be wealthy whilst another is poor, or the absurd notion that we must pay back the debt of our own existence.

We traded community culture for corporate comfort and our most precious resource, our time, as a commodity. We need to move beyond revolution and into the next stage of human evolution. A time marked by unparalleled compassion and peaceful co-existence. The shape of which we can not foresee as it must be created together.

We will take no power back as we shall empower ourselves and we shall say: We are the humans. We are awake now. We reclaim our destiny..
