We’ve been Punk’d
Truth itself is an ideology
It is not a comparison between fact or fiction
That is a false analogy
created by an acclaimed democracy
But ideology is not democracy
it is economy, theocracy, technology
It is an autobiography
written by left hand liberal
and right hand Republican
every letter blurred by the intertwining of prejudice hands
From the moment we are born
we are told that truth is left and fallacy is right
or that truth is right and fallacy is left
but it is all bullshit.
1417
the Italian Renaissance
created linear perspective
the convergence of lines towards
one
focal
point
the convergence of minds towards
one
focal
point
truth is a convergence of eyes towards
one
focal
point
1900 to now
the evanescence of linear perspective.
for perspective cannot be defined as linear
or as a line that goes
right
to left
or left
to right
The way we perceive is true and real
but when tampered with by society
and put on a straight path
by government and media
it is no longer real and true
rather it becomes a weapon of glue
that adheres our minds to
a linear line
that heads straight towards
one
focal
point.
a point where individualism
equality
and democracy
are all apparent
but we all know that those ideologies
are only ideal
they are not real.
they are sprayed with alluring perfume
and read
“There is not a liberal America
and a conservative America
there is the United States of America.”
but these very words were written
by left and right hands.
the division still exists
between the rich and the poor
the minority and the majority.
People always say that things are not always
black and white
true and false
things are grey.
But if grey is the mixture of black and white
true and false
left and right
ideology and ideology
all we end up with is
one
giant
never ending
never escaping
theory-
conjecture
assumption
that we call truth.
The very idea that we use to
validate our world
obscures it instead.
