Yes, we are born into an ocean of lies,
no more aware than fish in water.
Deception is our trade.
Lies are our mortar.
We build everything with it.
The younger generations are our apprentices.
It’s not a conspiracy theory.
It’s older than empire.
Gladiators. Bread. Circus.
Win the crowd.
Keep them afraid.
It always works.
Dare to wake up
It might tear you apart.
Easier to go back to sleep.
Easier to live with the ignorance of bliss
than to live with the agony of knowing.
But if you do awaken,
behold: there are islands of truth.
Growing a spine, learning to stand
it’s an evolution.
It takes courage, conviction,
and an immense amount of time.
If you find yourself ashore on an island of reality,
build carefully.
Mix your mortar with only truth.
For the ocean's tidal forces are great,
and the waves of lies are relentless.
Whatever is built with lies
will be washed away.
