The Masterplan
© by PerPer

Down the road that we all travel on,
heavy machines tear up the earth.
Down the river that we all swim in,
heavy machinery smother the fish.

Behind the gun, trembling,
the finger pulls the trigger.
Behind the finger, blindly,
the mind screams "just do it!".

Behind the flawless smiles,
the white and dirty lies grow bigger.
Behind the everyday lies,
flawless smiles are becoming whiter.

We, the machines?
We, the fingers?
We, the minds?
We, the smiling, lying, fools?

Now we sit and stare in awe
at the fucking breaking news!
Hello reality, goodbye Hollywood.
Truth is stranger than fiction...
