About the poem– Inspired by her father’s ideology, writer has tried to depict the truth – an image of our society, and its control through false consciousness.

           “They” are all held captive,
in the world of illusion,
Where “WE” sell them beautiful lies.
And imprison them in a fragile virtual world;
Everything here is cold and dark,
“WE” force “them” our delusional Laws,
to follow through the patriarch.

“Our” agenda is to blind “them”
from the truth of their existence, 
to reprogram their fragile little minds..
Holding them detained.
directing our empty platitudes .
Like you wake up in your bed, 
and believe what you want to believe in.
Suppress anything that doesn’t fit in.

Yes, “WE” are the evil beings,
The Democrats, Government or The Capitalists.
Making you slave to our self-created labyrinth.
conspiring to morph you..
in our demonic belief system. 
One; is “The Society” 
and the other; is “material wealth” 
Oh, such an ecstasy!
A theoretical perspective of status, 
Repels your Power, Success and Glory!

As you struggle all through your life..
Skipping meals, working until you could win …
Influenced and dreaded that you’ve made it through the whims,
And far there, 
at the abandoned street corner…
Someone’s begging for a scrap,
To be contended and to hymn!
“WE” blunt your thoughts,
Make you plead on your knees,
So you could never fight back, 
or raise a question against our terrible deeds.

Let “Us” Exploit this planet,
Let “Us” spread out all deadly disease,
Let “Us” destroy this beautiful world, and make you insane,
As “WE” build your fragile home; and call it human mundane!

There’s a splinter in your mind,
Driving you mad.
Something you know, though can’t explain it rather!
Have you questioned the nature of your existence ever?
The myriad complexities often stop us even before we start?
As though you’re living in a subjective view of the world.
Or is it that every moment, every experience, and every vision..
is bought up to you simply as an illusion !!!?
