The truth will return for those not easily swayed
By what really happened that day
Context can change the meaning you see,
Which is why it's manipulated purposefully
Cutting the part out or off sets the stage
To prevent or antagonize rage
To prevent or antagonize feeling
To prevent or antagonize hearing
To prevent or antagonize death
To prevent or antagonize Seth
To prevent or antagonize fear
To prevent or antagonize tears
To prevent or antagonize doubt
To prevent or antagonize shouts
Now what if sound is added or taken out?
Images can be held back or shown
Intentions can never be known
Intentions can never be proven
Images keep the story line moving
Movie producers craft a view
Videos carve a vision to pursue
Filters create a lens to skew
Sets build a perspective
Scenes crafted subtle and reflective Production sets form the view
Original sound erased
Words actors did or did not say
Certain sounds stripped away
A new track overlays
Guiding the story in its own way
Is this reality or is this just T.V?
Depends on what they want you to see
For the trusting you
For the unsuspecting you
For the believing you
For the ones who never knew
What was placed or left out of view
What was placed or left in view
Your conviction you believed to be true
You actually did not choose
Your decision, they've already made it
When it is being curated
CUT THAT PART OUT!
THE TRUTH YOU SAID IS LOUDER
THAN THE SCREAM OR THE SHOUT
YOU FUCKED UP THE ENTIRE SCENE
WHEN YOU SAID WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN
WE NEED TO OVERRIDE ANY REASONABLE DOUBT!
DON'T LET THEM SEE
DON'T LET THEM HEAR,
WHY WE WERE REALLY THERE
OR THAT YOU WERE REALLY HERE
CUT THE CONTEXT WHERE INTENTIONS ARE CLEAR
MAKE THE PART WHERE WHERE WE ALL LOOK
AS VIOLENT AS WE ARE...DISAPPEAR!
REMOVE THE PART THAT COULD EXPOSE
PUT IT TOGETHER SO THE TRUTH NEVER SHOWS
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT PART YOU CAN'T CHANGE?
OH FOR FUCKS SAKE THEN
CREATE EVIDENCE THAT WILL SWAY
LEAVE NO TRACE OF WHAT WE DID TODAY
So long as the scream drowns
Out the noise of the truth that could be found
Of actually what really went down
The scream is visceral isn't it?
The crying shows the terror, doesn’t it?
Created a cognitive dissonance
Between what’s felt and what you have been told
Who is presenting the narrative control?
Who’s screaming out, the liar or the deceived?
Whose voice is lifted and whose is believed?
Who is crying, the victim or the one made to fall?
Whose tears are real, and whose are scripted for us all?
Who’s crying loud, the guilty or the wronged?
But who did they silent all along?
Who sheds the tears, the oppressor or the hurt?
Who hides the truth, and who wears the dirt?
Who’s the one in pain, and who wears the mask?
Whose tears are real, but more importantly
Who is afraid that you will ask?
The words spoken before the film rolls
What did they say of their intention told?
Or the context of how this all would unfold?
Do you even know?
No, you are now immediately sold!
Nor the nuance, the truth that’s cut out
What only remains is the truth they want you to doubt
Spin a story so that other's won't doubt
A version they sell, with no room for doubt
Doubt becomes fact and fact is thrown out
We can question the motive, all we’re left with is doubt
Make such an explosive scene
Reasonable doubt is gone in a flash
They know this, that’s why they strike so rash
Create a storm that’s built to blind
Leaving only the chaos in your mind
Get the papers sealed and signed
But we all know when we hear the truth of the scream
Instinctually we know what it means
That’s why they use it against you
To break your will, to subdue
No matter the stance
For or against
Pornography of fear made at someone's expense
Your words are used and turned against you
They know the buttons to press, to make you spew
A flick of the tongue, they watch you react
Emotion’s the weapon and they know the impact
Your ability to question and see their design
The cameraman’s motive, now erased from your mind
You can't read the angles, the shifts in the view
Or see the control in the image they drew
Even a convenience store camera can show it
The inconvenient truth of the context of how this all unfolded
But they purposefully left it out
And show you a curated of "what was that all about?"
Leave you in the realm of I don't know
So you further believe only what they will show
A neighbor’s lens? They’ll never bestow it
A security feed that loops, so they lie
Erased in the dark so that the truth dies
And behind their malicious intention they hide
So the perpetrator and victim, who is who?
You think they leave it up to you
But they carefully crafted reality persuaded
The lines are blurred, the truth askew
Reality bent so the evidence of the truth purposefully faded
The words say everything there is to say
That's why they removed the ability to know the truth that way The words say all there is to convey
That’s why they silence it, take it away
The words can come to the defense
Of the one who perpetrates the offense
What are you yelling for?
Crunching bones as the tank rolls
Slaughterhouse behind the closed doors
A life debated torn limb from limb
But the vote of murder is who wins
What color is your hair?
Brown
Mine too!
In the gas chamber I will stand next to you
So long as they don't need to see it or hear it Our humanness gone when they choose to delete it
From war to wonder, to life denied
The scissors will snip where truths collide
History repeats when the edits align
The camps were constructed "it’s all benign."
The moon’s descent framed just so
Truth cut to fit the narrative’s flow
Don't matter the age or the time
This is a perpetual loop of the original crime Soundbites crafted to lead or misguide
The full story lost swept to the side
In propaganda the seeds are sown
A tale distorted and now its origins unknown
The loudest voice drowns dissent
Reality bent to serve their intent
In courtrooms justice fades to gray
The facts reshaped in a polished display
The evidence buried the lies take root
While the verdict plays to the persuader's flute
In the classroom history’s redrawn
Heroes invented as their sins are withdrawn
Lessons molded to fit the state
A generation bound by a curated fate
On the airwaves the anchors decide
What parts to air and what parts to hide
The truth a casualty of ratings and fear
While the narrative’s crafted to draw us near
We do this to each other every day and age
Our screens, scrolls, stone tablets, and phones
The truth gets washed away
We show what we want, the filtered view
A perfect image, but none of it true
We hide the mess, the pain, the fight
We build a perspective for all to see
That we are right, and all must agree
They are entitled to nothing when they have shown this path
To commit violence and hide from the aftermath
The truth will not come back for who
Won't admit the violence they put one through
The insidious moves they make to avoid the blame
No accountability with no sense of shame
The truth will return for those who endure
Who face the past with intentions that are pure
The truth will return but not for what they seek
Not for those who refuse to face the meek
The truth will return for those who face
The violence they do not try to erase
The truth will return for those who chose to see
The cost of silence and what it actually means
The truth will return for those who stand
And face the darkness with open hand
The truth will return for those not easily swayed
By what really happened that day
This resonates in vivid details. 🫶
