The things that benefit those in power
Are the things that keep us
Too uninformed to question
Too distracted to notice
Too complacent to fight
Too divided to unify
Too poor to act
Too tired to care
And too disillusioned to believe in change.
The reason is simple
Once someone gains power,
To keep it,
They must do more than merely preserve the systems that got them there,
They must halt the very turns of the wheel of history
That gave them their precious crown.
So naturally, it’s in their best interests to keep people
Depressed.
Unhealthy.
Isolated.
