Hidden In Plain Sight

A manipulated opinion
Meticulously directing reactions towards a patsy
An easy prey to the vultures
What shall be the sacrifices?
A manipulated opinion
A stretch of the truth leading to preemptive strikes
Proxy wars in a post-colonial chaos
Intentions hidden in plain sight

Perpetual war
For perpetual profits
Peace is nothing but the time war takes its breath
As long as armed conflicts generate profits for the belligerents
And the blood spilled never their own
The blood they spill is never theirs
Perpetual war
For perpetual profits
Peace is nothing but the time war takes its breath
As long as armed conflicts generate profits for the belligerents

Reactionaries
Fulfill
Their ever so predictable role
Reactionaries
Fulfill
Their ever so predictable role and believe
A lie so colossal
No one could have the impudence to
Distort the truth so infamously

Introducing the new enemy of the free world
What shall be the sacrifices?
Another funeral
Ritual for collateral casualties
Intentions hidden in plain sight
