Could it be...
That millions of people globally,
Are nonconforming militants...
Daring to face deception?
Because now they see a truth,
Never before to them seen?
And on much smaller screens.

Or are they just a few disgruntled,
And disillusioned people...
Angered because the amusement park,
Has run out of cotton candy and roasted peanuts.
And have shortened visitation hours for the caged gorillas,
Seen on a daily basis...
Doing their much adored and trained hip hop routines.

Therefore...
Crowds of people are being forced to leave by violent means,
And this is depicted as a threat to a democratic society...
Reporting these scenerios from the comforts of their peeping booths,
Where over two million people are locked up to be rehabilitated...
For crimes against a fantasy created that no longer tolerates,
Truths of any kind to be addressed.
Unless fashionably dressed and walking down a red carpet...
Blond, blue eyed, hunked and boobed.
You know...
The best that variety has to offer.

Could it be...
A madness impossible to comprehend.
One so unfathomable has begun to be purposely created,
To have those sitting in their homes with their wide screen TV's...
Fearing themselves as agents of revolutionary change,
Now that they have determined to carpool?
Regardless if they are labelled dissidents and unpatriotic!

The times we face are tensed with every conceivable creation known,
To be used to confuse the mind of a nonthinking human being.
And remember how simple the times use to be,
When dividing people along ethnic lines seemed to have been done...
More effectively by using degrading jokes?
Who knew something done so innocently would evolve into all of this?
