Moving on angles
that cut
straight to the heart
of your disregard.
Never had an enemy,
No,
no one’s really ever tried
to hurt you,
or take away
that which is
most precious to you.
You think you are strong
and that
is your weakness.
There’s nothing new
about you,
other than the time you’re in.
Would it do
to convince you
of your arrogance?
Or are you
so better fuelled
as our instrument?
We’re gonna give you
everything you’ve ever wanted.
Better for us
if we let you keep
your entitlement
and convince you
there’s enemies
coming to take it away.
Not your enemies,
remember,
you’ve never had any,
but now you have plenty
and we’ll make sure
they’re in your way.
Easier
to manipulate you
than teach you
to go your own way.
No value
in individuals;
we need outraged
automatons
like you.
