Conspiracy



When all is said and done,
Have any of us won?

Have we made our own decisions
Or are we faced with cheap illusions?

The sky is blue or so they say, it might be night;
No sky today?

Are we as free as we ought to be?
Are we surround by walls, we just can't see.
I know this sounds crazy, but please bear with me.

Given a dollar do you buy yourself a home,
Can you even get a house for one dollar these days?

This poem is deteriorating... Isn't it?
Maybe that's what they want you to think!

Go to work, send your kids to school, follow fashion, act normal, walk on the pavement, watch t.v., save for your old age, obey the law, repeat after me: I am free.

LOL! I like T.V.! Especially those cool new 3D ones.
Troy is playing Bush Wanker 2 on Facebook.

I love my life.
