The Truman show

It foretold what was to come
laid the plans  
to predict the new outcomes  
drew the blueprints, in tomorrows sand.  
Utopia, behold its shining centrefold  
 
As Alexa snoops  
 all the corporate giants listen  
unknowingly, we jump all kinds of hoops  
and each align, individuality all forbidden.  
Utopia behold its golden totem pole  
 
Each the actor centre stage  
when Covid leaves an empty nest  
men in grey suits, sent to persuade  
the world will have to be reset.  
Behold utopia. it's mind to take complete control  
 
Automation like a dreaded virus  
the new coming, to leave us all so blessed  
every source of information biased  
that, black is white, the lie to the oppressed.  
Behold, utopia the empty effigy, our goal  
 
Point your bow towards the west  
set the compass to avoid the wreak  
all fallen walls of past mistakes  
the Xanadu that dreamers faked  
Behold, utopia the lie that's being sold  
 
 Flaws and cracks so hidden deep  
the holy grail just out of reach  
a Disneyland, sham fairy-tale  indeed  
to suck our hopes just like a leech  
Behold, utopia perfection's vanity; implodes  
 
A hymen, that unbroken episode  
 debauched by greed. and life's cuckold
