Since the days of old,
In the fictions we've been told,
Throughout history the enemy
of the decency society
designed to breed
has silently watched our every move.
Violently derails and skews
the quest for truth. It laughs, amused.

It’s time for hysteria.
A case of malaria.
A lie I'll share with ya.
I know that I'm scaring ya.
Why would I do this?
Put you through this.
Cause it's hilarious.

With the tools that we're given,
In the era that we're living,
Our collective stomach is gorged.

Humanity’s a lush for information.
Addicted to the sensation.
We will eat all that we can afford.

But with this diet of excess
we're too confused to assess
which entities do possess
integrity we can trust to endure

those we know obscure
objective truth, traded for
sensational narratives.
Scandal imperative
to the agenda worked towards.

It's an opiate for some people
to engage with their evil
side, removed, sure their screen will
keep them anonymous,
while they're haunting us.

It’s time for hysteria.
A case of malaria.
A lie I'll share with ya.
I know that I'm scaring ya.

Why would I do this?
Put you through this.
Find it hilarious.

Now your discourse reads like Reddit,
Politicians don't care who said it,
They will repeat it.
Exports of the internet
Emboldening the malcontent.
We're taking over.
Spewing our hate.
We're taking over.
You've dug your own graves.

And now you got a fight on your hands.
Because despite what you planned,
we're grabbing all of your clocks and we're moving back the hands.
You've got a lot work to do,
to disseminate your truth,
amongst the troops,
amongst the youth,
so they will choose to side with you.
With your enlightened views.
Of how those without still matter.
Of how a cap on wealth would be better.
Of how we can live together
despite the weather,
the storms between us.
We'd all benefit from a spell of genius,
if we'd just admit that it's not devious
to educate the populous en masse.
Some oppose because it does impact
the control they have
on those that lack
information needed to fight back.
So if you find it prudent,
to recruit you a platoon of students,
you'd better start now.
Start calling us out,
because it's only just begun.
And if you stay silent we've won.
Won't stop. It's wrong, but it's fun
to watch your faith in truth come undone.
