Allegory of the Cave

Reflections stinging eyelids, subduing social vision,
threading hollow motives, and silence is the sound,
throw this all away, remove these words past recognition,
we purge belief from empty promises, throw this all away,
burn down perfect pictures, distances tearing us apart,
advertisement kills the heart, unveil this lie,
good intentions cover plastic coated skin,
flickering, pitter-pattering, up and in';
was given, take these standards, built like buildings,
tear them down, rebuild.
