World War Bullshit
captured by royel, topanga canyon, 2025, test shoot
“dude, we see through the bullshit, the smoke and the mirrors,
as we ride this wave toward chaos, fueled by our fears.
in times like these, when the vibe feels so grim,
the powers that be distract us with their shallow whims.
they serve up their bread, their circuses bright,
while the shadows grow longer, swallowing the light.
sex and spectacle, they keep us stoked,
but beneath the surface, the truth's getting choked.
the echoes of history ring loud in our ears,
with millions lost in the world wars, drowning in tears.
world war one took ten million souls,
world war two, another fifty-five million tolls.
but here we are, caught in the fray,
as the puppeteers dance, leading us astray.
let’s wake up, rise up, and see what’s at stake,
for the world’s on the brink, make no mistake.”
