Manipulation [Feel it]

By hate_doll

Opportunist:

One who takes advantage of any opportunity to achieve an end, often with no regard for principles or consequences.



You.

Manipulate fear
As a tool
For your progression
...
Or rather,
Retrogression


All lies
Selfish, stupid lies
But we are blinded
By the sandstorms
Of fake war
And propaganda


You.

Immobilize people
With invisible fear
Crucify your dreams
With the sins
Of your people


You.

Hold peace above heads
The forbidden fruit
A sin to indulge on
But always tempted
As you worship
A cannibal Jesus



I will never follow you
Up that slippery slope
In which we are destined
To slip and fall,
A flesh blood red carpet
To make it easier
For you to climb the hill


I will never trust in a God or a country I am told to fear.
