Plastic States

It is well known but easily misunderstood
how false pomp leads to fake deference
-we collectively disown that process.
And how could it be openly discussed
whilst dissenting tongues fall into unreason
-in awe of the majesty before them?
But every so often the power of propaganda
declines, revealing a balder life underneath.
Then history becomes a series of exposes
of the lies one generation tells about another
in the hope of controlling the future,
nobody knowing how far their lies will go.
In this space the more we explore
the more we find that nobody lived
as they were described as living at the time.
