Verses of the Illuminati, Part IV: Leading From the Past
by Michael Doyle

Our ruling elites are leading from the past
Believing themselves worthy of power that will last.
Stalking fear through capitalism for new technology,
It's the sweet path to shaping the future from history.

The world is being held in a strategic ransom,
All in the name of ending our bid for freedom.
Thuggery is afoot by way of our smart devices
As we rely on the biases of the elites' advice.

Cloud services hold the depth of our best information,
As those in power seek their version of our reformation.
Cyber-terrorism could bring the world to its knees,
All through manipulation and controlled disease.

Our masters take our skills so that we must rely
On the tentacles stretched by Big Brother or die.
Living in the virtual world with no passage by which to return,
It's a skills issue that we must rapidly unlearn.

The battle, I fear, is already here.
Does mankind prevail? Or do we disappear?
All the numbers given hold their control.
We are branded to this future, soul after soul.

The nanny state sells us as it tells us what to believe.
Pretending our best interest as they actively deceive.
Everyone is subjected to the influence and preparation.
Individuality is our only escape from this narration.

Phobos and the moons of Saturn establish a pattern
Of fabricated walls, as the aliens descend again.
Tapping on the giant caverns holds the key to the empty
Meanings behind the stories that read like a good mystery.

In this new millennium, we are lost amidst our navigation.
The circular logic holds the hidden truth of our destination.
Tracks are seen transcending the blinking face of the moon.
Does this hold the secret to our doom?
