One can live quite comfortably
within the confines of alternate reality
where chewable truth is dispensed
in easily digestible increments
In this antiseptic environment
the air is purified crystal clear
There is no "them" pollution in here
Dissent is kept outside the bubble
No radical elements will be admitted
Contrarian agitation only leads to trouble
For in here there is just one train of thought
running on a one track collective mind
reinforced with soothing repetition
that serves to solidify the party line
As our real Universe continues to spin
Exploding perpetually out of control
the alternate reality mode moves in
to fill the void with darkness stability
So maybe this is how democracy expires
Not with a bang, but with a flickering fire
