The enslaved require a master

Just like a flock needs a shepherd

And as wolves among sheep they are gathered

Bestowing solace in delusion

The mask slips to reveal the true face of tyranny behind the twin evils of church and state

Stepping out from beyond the shroud of shadows with the reckless abandon of the impudent

Loathsome agenda once hidden in plain sight but ridiculed as conspiracy

Indoctrination convinces even sceptics to recognise the narrative

Hyperbole and propaganda

Confusion and bewilderment rule

Acquiescence requires no effort

Illusion of freedom for the uninformed

Authority maintained by division and conquest

Inscrutable government imposing new levels of draconian laws

Increased surveillance

Curtailed rights accepted without question

Extant reign of terror

Oppression through fear

The currency for control

Comply or die

The choice is absolute

Condemned by blind acceptance

Nightmare visions of the future foretold

Manifest in the present

Obedient captives embrace dystopia

Sustaining fictional reality

Induced mass hypnosis cannot endure

The illusion of comfort shatters too late

Social Darwinism enforced to full effect

Total submission to the new construct

Engineered conformity in this distortion of existence

We stand on the precipice but remain oblivious
