The Power Of Illusion

Give them a little power, so they can have a voice to waste their energy.

Starve them, so you shift their perception of hunger.

Tell them what they want to hear, to give them hope, so they can serve you more.

Pit them against each other, so they can be distracted from the real issues.

Arm them with weapons and not knowledge, so that the only thing they know is violence.

Kill their friend in secret, wound their other friend and come to their rescue, so they may hail you as the saviour.

Convince them that they are beneath you, and that they serve you, so they forget their rights.

When people are hungry, what matters is the food they will eat now. Not that which will sustain them from tomorrow up till their last breath. 

And in the illusion of power, people we feel their actions matter, and will follow a predetermined path to their destruction. 

And if it is juice they like, tell them a fountain of juice awaits them, but only if they follow you. They shall follow. 

And as you take what belongs to them, encourage them to fight each other by elavating one skin color over the other, one race over the other, one religion over the other, one way of life over the other.

And give them drugs, give them guns and not books, so they can devour each other. Because books teach, weapons kill. 

And make them believe you care by being the killer and the judge, the culprit and the victim, the giver and the reciever. Make them believe you did not do it, even though you know it was you. 

And help them forget that in actuality, you serve them, they do not serve you. 

Society today. For the tyrant to bloom. Open your eyes, darkness will not cure your sickness.
