The Sound of Psyops
"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." - William J. Casey, CIA Director (1981)
The Sound of Psyops
Hello Deep State, my old friend
I've come to hide from you again
Because surveillance is softly creeping
The Left turned fascist while I was sleeping
And visions that were planted in our brains
Still remain
Within the sound of psyops
And when I think I am alone
I know yr listening to my phone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
That hides a camera with a time stamp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
Says I'm “far-right”
That's the sound of psyops
And in the naked light I saw
A peaceful protest "break the law"
People vilified just for speaking
Others judging them without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of psyops
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Psyops like a cancer grow
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like digital raindrops, fell
Censored
In the wells of psyops
And the people bowed and prayed
To the narrative they made
And the dissidents flashed their warning
In the movement that was forming
And the teachers said, "United we stand, Divided we fall!
One and all"
Drowned out by the sound of psyops
