He sits
The power button is pressed
The glare comes
As his brain switches to emoting

He watches a woman speak
With her paper in front of her
And flashes of pictures and words
Following her speech

He becomes dreamy
As the words echo
His brain takes everything in
As if it is information that
the brain must need

The words become his memories
As they flow
And flow
Around his head

They say they speak of truth
They say they speak of trust
And he believes them
Only to his ignorance
That these words are body of lies

As he sees the words
as “must know” info
The words grin
With devious emotes
As they find
They have control of him

The words continue to flow
And flow
Around his head
Making him into
The minion
That we once dread


The minion
The accomplice
Of great powers
And great persuaders
Called science and government
