To Dance
To Dance
The march performed at furious pace.
Abruptly turns about-face.
Yet some shame will not erase.
Just who exactly was displaced?
Distractions carefully orchestrated,
Newsfeeds are minutely curated.
Secrets seen but understated,
Expectations are soon deflated.
How they lead you through the dance.
The music played not left to chance.
The demons all sing on cue,
The steps are all laid before you,
Catching you all in circumstance.
Pretense slated in hallowed hall.
Duplicity meant to enthrall,
Discovery hoped to forestall,
No hope to outlast the long haul.
Distractions carefully orchestrated,
Newsfeeds are minutely curated.
Peoples needs seen overrated,
Expectations are soon deflated.
How they lead you through the dance.
The music played not left to chance.
The demons all sing on cue,
The steps are all laid before you,
Catching you all in circumstance.
Billionaires invest deranged.
From the populace estranged.
Our fortunes seem so prearranged,
When can we expect a change?
Distractions carefully orchestrated,
Newsfeeds are minutely curated.
The odds against us weighted,
Expectations are soon deflated.
How they lead us through the dance.
The music played not left to chance.
The demons all sing on cue,
The steps are all laid before you,
None of this is happenstance.
