TWO DIMENSIONS ON A PAGE, THREE ON ANY STAGE MORE EXIST IN EVERY LIFE, BUT NONE AT ALL ARE SEEN WITHOUT THE LIGHT. TWO MEN STANDING IN A CAGE, PREPARING FOR THE NIGHT NO ONE COMES AND NO ONE PAYS, UNLESS A THIRD PROMOTES THE FIGHT. ACTORS SAY THE LINES, SLANTED AND DESIGNED TO MISLEAD. DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER AS WE WATCH THE ANSWERS SCATTER LIKE THE LEAVES. THERE'S A BIGGER PICTURE THAN THE ONE THEY LET US SEE, READING THEIR PAPERS OR WATCHING THEIR TV. WHO PROFITS FROM THE PAIN WHEN THE LIES SUCCEED, DO THEY OWN THE PAGES WE SO PROUDLY READ? LIERS SAY "IT TAKES TWO", HISTORY KNOWS THAT'S NOT TRUE EVERY AGE HAS ITS PUPPETEERS, WHO SPREAD THE LIES, CREATING FEARS, SHADOWS FALL DARK AS NIGHT, HIDING ALL THEIR FACES. THEY PULL THE STRINGS LEFT AND RIGHT, THEY KEEP THE ANSWERS OUT OF SIGHT. THEY KNOW WE WON'T EVER UNITE UNLESS WE REALIZE… WHO KIDNAPS THE TRUTH AND HOLDS HER IN THE DARK? WHO WORKS SO HARD TO KEEP US ALL APART? THERE'S A BIGGER PICTURE THAN THE ONE THEY LET US SEE, READING THEIR PAPERS OR WATCHING THEIR TV. WHO PROFITS FROM THE PAIN WHEN THE LIES SUCCEED, DO THEY OWN THE PAGES WE SO PROUDLY READ? CANYONS GROW DARK AND WIDE, WE WATCH THE PUPPETS RUN AND HIDE INTO THE LIGHTS ON EITHER SIDE THAT THE PUPPETEERS PROVIDE. WE WATCH THE SHOW BUT DON'T REALIZE WE'VE BECOME THE POLARIZED AND TURNED OUR BACKS ON THOSE WE LEFT BEHIND…ON THE OTHER SIDE
