Psychological Manipulation

the script is written
strategic and confusing
subject to last-minute editing
and the right opportunity

the stage is albeit in darkness and is almost ready
down in the pit the first fanfares are tuning up

the
prepared walk-on parts are filled
most of the main actors have already taken up their roles

propaganda
is
storytelling drama

soon it will be time for them to come on stage
ready for the curtain to rise

time for action will have come now
get ready

terrify the population
by fabricating and spreading
rumors
which frame the enemy as mad brutes
who feast on the
flesh of their victims and liberty

hammer the point to the home
front
including children getting massacred
circulate most nasty news they
need to share

in the midst of the ensuing mass hysteria
remind the people
about that you are divinipotent
remind them now

only you are able to eradicate
this hated cancerous threats
the propaganda machine is helping you to spread
this misconception

disbelievers are put on the pillory
you just hold a bludgeon
over their blasphemous heads
and if they get out of line
they need to be put
back

the bewildered herd is a big problem
you have got to prevent their roar
and trampling
you have got to distract them
you have to whip them up
into
fear and anger of the enemies

frighten the population
terrorize them

intimidate them they need to cower in fear

you constructed a major monster
that they have to defend theirselves against
that gives relief
it gives relief
that they were saved at the last minute
