Manufacturing Consent

Another take-down piece

In the name of free speech

 

Make your name on me

Find fame in me

Can he make you hate me?

 

The gullible and easily led

Manipulation of the educated

 

A social media exaggeration

Another Facebook fabrication

No gatekeeper to stop the bullying

Are they manufacturing your consent

Is it just another PR placement?

Are you a master of the universe

Living in your mother’s basement

 

Don’t let them shape your world view

Don’t let them tell you what to do

Think about it from their point of view

Don’t bully me or impose your will

Don’t be subtle when you manipulate my worldview

 

If I have the same opinion as everyone else

Then, I am not thinking for myself

 

And the rainmakers make it rain

And the kingmakers take up aim

The dealmakers call a truce

For the peacemakers can’t make peace

 

And the statesmen

Wipe their brows

Iconoclasts and holy cows

As the avant-garde

Try so hard

 

You were born to be

A game changer

A rule breaker

A world changer

A peacemaker
