Static

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
