Sleepwalkers, or Media Control


from a collection by Gary Knapton entitled "Secrets and Lies"
 

People look young when you’ve been around a while

People can shimmer like haze

Some light up like the sun’s oblivion

Others are darker than days


People and pain get repulsed magnetically

People and pleasure get drawn

Some are like books that read energetically

Others get ripped up and torn


People are swayed like ferns in thunderstorms

People don’t know they don’t know

Feed people up with ego and vanity

Watch how far people will go


People bow down to the laws of marketing

People like lemmings get rolled

Give a man lies and he’ll make a truth of it

People got media-controlled


People are wrapped in pride and prejudice

Locked in parameter’s range

Fear is absolute

Freedom is relative

People and power don’t change


People are scared, lonely and delusional

People can see but won’t look

Self-perception all skewed as usual

Image in the mirror all crook


It's bodies, not people that die and naturally

Bodies, not people get born

People won't wake

They don’t see the tragedy

Sleepwalkers never transform
