When foolish standards are hammered and fed to us through screens
Photographs rip us in half and lie and kill with their magazines
Our thoughts are drowned out by narratives comparative to the past
How long do we live to give our dimming light that barely stood a chance?
As it gets harder to breathe and conceive a thought that’s not our own
We’re then told to sacrifice as a compromise for their lies unknown
When they’re in a hurry to bury us strategically since birth
And all we’ve ever known has shown up as old men who tell us what we’re worth
They raise us then they blame us and divide us for scraps
They attack us and distract us and their meds set us up for relapse
Don’t confuse this abuse for care when they’ve set us up against each other
It’s time to open our eyes and prepare for what’s been uncovered
Just when we thought we knew enough we’re brought into a rabbit hole
With a needle for our feeble minds connecting these truths that unfold
As we each slowly awake from all the fake dreams they sold
Look beyond the sky and realize you’re one less soul they can control
Love Always,
Lainey
