from Canada
The crazy part of the word ‘they’ is that
‘them’ itself has been chosen a pronoun
of so many trying to define them selves
while ‘they’ don’t really need anymore
A grand conspiracy when they can pack
the court(s) with corporate supremacy
and we can all see their great delusion
‘illusion’ documented in detail w/o fail
Lurking under the bridge to no where
with the trolls coming out of the grave
site of all the Watergate crimes and the
horrors of citizens assassinated there
By COINTELPRO domestic and foreign
F.B.I. and C.I.A. security state rivalries
competing to be the one to commit the
crimes on crime all the time sucked up
Waiting to finally prove what you knew
all along walking those Watch-Towers
seeing it, knowing it, being it so dearly
clearly wrapped in a smoky cloud veil.
