Veins of Smoke

What is dangled to the masses—

truth wrapped in bait,

lies spun for classes

who consume their fate.

We exist to be entertained,

to march in step,

obedience framed

as intellect.


Conformity praised,

resistance condemned.

Control is the goal—

and truth, the condemned.

Villains will rise

with well-lit names,

while heroes are buried

in blame.


Unleash yourself—

see what’s been fed.

The signal is poison,

broadcast in dread.

A message for most,

but meant for none,

we are the product

of what they’ve done.


Ask your neighbour,

ask your guide—

Who built this truth

you hold inside?

Deviously deceived

by unseen hands,

we cling to fiction

we misunderstand.


Power consumed,

but not by us.

Emissions rise

from the ruling trust.

Their towers gleam,

our lungs decay—

and still we praise

the price we pay.


Unleash yourself—

tear through the screen.

What’s sold as light

was never clean.

In smoke they rule,

in fear they sow—

this is their world,

and all we know.
