[ NaPo 2017 ] [ SK ] What you think you know

is not nearly as much  
as you think    

Never you mind---  
here's more sweet    
Kool Aid for you to drink    
    
Stare at the wall    
Its brick, invisible    
much like your skull    
---thick, impenetrable    
As the fault in our stars    
falls around us pink    
you panic like idiots    
only seeing what    
I allow you to know    
---what I tell you to    
think    
   
Think about it    
   
All the while I manipulate    
the outcome in my favor    
keeping the townsfolk    
under my thumb, believing    
me when I say I'm their savior    
while the real danger here?    
 
Preventing everyone from    
leaving; was me the entire time    
deceiving you all
