Unmasked

The inner power struggle demands too much energy. The emptiness of being, dictates daily routine. The longing for more supersedes all else. The hunger for freedom motivates change. You openly strip me of my liberties under the guise of protecting me while force feeding me regurgitated lies. Blindfolds have been removed, grotesque malignancies unmasked, eyes opened. The right too greedy to see, the left afraid of losing the hand that feeds. Liberty or death, a call to rise.
