...We...

We give you shiny objects
To occupy your hands
We give you entertainment
Satisfying your demands

We give you politicians
To represent your views
We give you nasty villains
To mock and to abuse

We give a myriad of gods
To sanctify your soul
We give fallacious freedoms
So you think you're in control

We give you spells and potions
To anesthetize your brain
We give you pills and tonics
To alleviate your pain

You may have many questions
Like just exactly who is We
But you will never discover the truth
....Because that's how We want it to be.

If this isn't your thing pass it by. But I've been saying for a long time that there's something running our world and our countries and it isn't those "elected" to do it. Politicians are useful idiots to the "We" that's actually running things. Like I said, if it isn't your thing just pass it by.

This is really good Christopher in style and in content. I like the rhymes. It certainly strikes a chord these days with this mere mortal who wants to control no-one, but more importantly wants no-one to try and control him. I no longer engage with so-called ‘news’, ads or much of the agenda-rich programming pumped at us. That begs the question ‘then why the hell aren’t you getting on with finishing Fedeltà Neville?’ Blowed if I can answer that! A good drabble!

Thanks, Neville. I figured it wouldn't get much attention here but it's how I felt so I wrote it.

And yes, I'm still looking forward to the conclusion of Fedelta.

Very rightly said, Christopher.
