The Matrix

What if nothing was real?
Your country
Your religion
Your relationships
Your very profession
Your sense of what’s right and wrong
All, a series of purposely placed
Lies and deceptions

What if you abruptly found out
That your entire existence
Is to be a consumer of goods

The lot of your learning
From a very young age
T'was to prepare you
To be a mindless want

That through constant media bombardment
Your every sense is filled by propaganda
Sending you on the never ending path
Of buying from those who wish to sell
Useless garbage that one would never need

You realize you’re a sheep
You've worked a lifetime
Squandered precious time
For greed, power, and attention

Poorer then a slave, you’re a consumer
Who benefits people you’ve never met,
Whom themselves are eternally enslaved.
