(Napkin Poem #2! Sorry for keeping everyone hanging! Enjoy :3)

Take the world. Divide it into pieces.
Give a bunch of things new names, and tell the humans there are races.
Kill a man or two and blame it on somebody who is sinless.
Rewrite your books so they are reduced to blinding boxes.
Ignorance is bliss, because it's better to have forgotten.
Erase the heroes from stories so that the people are left hopeless.
Condemn the art of creativity and let the masses wander thoughtless.
Control them with small screens and pictures until they've forgotten.
Let intoxicants run free in the streets that were once important.
Because the drunker that they get, the easier it gets to rule them.
Flip the scenes so that justice seems obscene, let them believe that they know what they see.
Blind them with subliminal messaging and cage them if they try to break free.
Welcome to our reality.
But I refuse to let this be.
Now who will stand with me against oppressiveness and tyranny?
