Mistaken

Privilege

unearned

layer upon layer of deceit

no one knows

no one can know

our freedoms

our trust

merely a mirage.

We thought

(clearly mistaken)

that we could decide

choose

live life for ourselves

pursue our dreams

yet this is not true.

Allowed the illusion

delusion

chattel we are

yoked

penned within cities

towns

hamlets

none are safe.

With subtle movement

crowded towards an uncertain future

lead by vicious men

using blood money

to take over the world.
