Poem: Do You Recall?

Do you recall what happened at the mall?
Did anyone see it all?

Do you recall when a leader took a fall?
Did you bother to make a phone call?

There are powers that be,
no average person can see.

Pull strings on people,
make up words like "sheeple."

Pay a man to think a certain way,
spread lies then pray.

People say they walk right,
truth comes, then they fight.

"Run away..." they say,
"Don't listen today."

Afraid of the light,
shiver in fright.

Don't want stories told,
even if they are decades old.

Why do you need to know that?
Just believe that it's fact.

What do you want with me?
That's not what you see.

From families to the people at top,
they sweep up, then they mop.

Clean up the dirt as fast as you can,
hide the truth or experience The Man.
