If you stand before a blank wall
and open your eyes as wide as you can
you will see nothing. Believing the lies
is always exactly
that easy. It's known as playing the game.
This is not a game of the blind lead the blind.
On the other side of the wall
which was not after all a wall
but an artificial barrier of darkened glass
they're watching. And now the light grows
almost bright enough to blind.
