again, I stress, I still intend to write.

[Juxtaposition]

It started with the Battle of Potemkin, now we here.
Cinematic propaganda engineered for the theatre.
In this silent movie the mutineers are to be cheered.
Revolting against 'brutal conditions inflicted by their upper peers.'

So it appeared, but with further research and inspection it reveals,
The most impactful portion of this film production never truly happened,
So what's the deal...? In the history for the viewers they believe it's real.

It started with the Battle of Potemkin now we here,
How easily influenced is our fighting spirit, subverted is our will?
When television shows like Will and Grace,
Have the Manliness in our Race running dandily to disappear.
But because I still believe in the might of men nowadays I'm the queer?

Is it insidious or is it Fierce... how the action heroes of yesteryear,
Tragically on the Silver Screen are being systematically replaced,
With Guys like Topher Grace, Shia LaBeouf, and Toby Maguire.
We started with Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger…
now we here?

They say it takes an entire village to raise children,
but how many media stations to mind control a nation?
It's so invasive how they cut us, mentally fuck us...
Fathers today are lolly gagging pops distracted,
So sons grow up easily get licked and treated like suckers.

Are these seeds being blown on ill winds masterless ronin
gnashing ferocious balancing forces precocious chariot horses
rampaging atonement for history's most dastardly moments
or are they calculated movements blueprints hewn from
pitiful craftsmen retaliating with doom creating grooves then
leaving vile liquids oozing like puss from a wound
our emotions festooned with confusion, debilitated diluted
damaged our wits are easy game for gang recruitment
weaker then 2 day old kittens abandoned to mewling.
