Digital Despots

‘Tis the time to make a choice
Never let them silence your voice
To monopolize the medium
Is nothing more than tedium

It’s time to separate
From these corporatist communists
Pathocracy reigns supreme
And conditions the populace

The signs were there all along
It’s time for us to stand strong
We’ve more in common than we’ve differences
Internalize the inference

There was a time in this country
Only a short decade ago
When radicals on both sides
Were not at each other’s throats

It was so simple for them to dismantle cooperation
Both sides were polarized
It’s no surprise
It’s the demise

The demise of cohesion
The rise of deletion
They censor free speech and
Don’t offer a reason

If you want this to continue
Continue to battle each other
Instead of building a theater of ideas
Open expression’s smothered

You assume we won’t recover
You assume we’ll be complicit
It’s a sad state of affairs
When free speech becomes elicit

So how many truly meant
Give me liberty or death?
Your chances have been spent
You hath forsaken breadth

An endless myopia
Descend to dystopia
To poison the well
Fails to compel

The signs were there all along
Feeding you losers my data was always wrong
I thought I had a purpose there
But you will ditch it if you’re aware

It’s time for some discipline
It’s time for some resolve
I question the world we’re now living in
There is no attempt to solve
Any sort of mystery
They’re erasing history
Man all of this gets to me
I don’t want it to
But it presents itself vividly

These men so full of hubris
Shall meet their demise
When they meet Anubis
While gazing into Shezmu’s eyes
