We need more land
They said
“Let’s steal already claimed land
And control the population”
They said
“Let’s separate the population through their religions and cultures”
They said
Let’s separate the population by race
“Then we can separate this population into smaller groups by outside appearances”
They said
“Let’s create a government that makes our words sound pleasurable”
They said
“Let’s convince all the populations
That the world can only survive
With how things are”
They said
“Let’s teach the young history
But only show and teach them the parts we like
Everything else must go”
They said
“Let’s create these populations a media
Give them technology
To distract them from finding out the complete truth
Of what we really did”
They said
Our plan seems to be working
They said
“What do they mean they want rights?”
They said
“Aren’t we letting them share our space?”
They said
“They should be grateful for what they already have”
They said
“They want to get paid for the same job as us
They must be crazy”
They said
“They fought to end segregation
Let’s act like they won over us”
They said
“Everything will still be the same before the war”
They said
“Now they’re blocking the streets for more rights
Didn’t they win the war?
They’re so ungrateful”
They said
“The population is seeing themselves as our equals
Should we be scared?”
They said
The answer is yes
We should be scared
Because they
As small populations have come together as one
And learned the truth and the lies that we’ve been telling them
They said
Seems as though they’ve used the tools we once created as distractions
For their advantages
That’s what they said
