Role Reversal

Wisdom rustles through the trees

…somewhere in the distance

The truth is lost in the shuffled deck

…if alternative facts

Mechanical souls assembled from scraps

…of a humanity, now too far away to reach

Knowledge spewed

…out of the mouths of the awakened

Broken chains of the oppressed

…discarded and happily forgotten

“The Majority” transformed into a more accurate “Minority”

…role reversal is inevitable

The sharp teeth of universal karma bites deep

…tearing flesh to shreds

Ancestors of the original people take their place

…at the head of the table

Century-old lies buried beneath the truths that tumble

…out of the closet in which they’ve been kept
