Rumors of War

 
Ease into the latest scare that trends
Until routine outlives imagination
When conspiracy turns to whisper and prophecies of wolves get lost in the cries
I guess nothing turns out to be true when there is no threat of truth for lies

Can anything prepare us for it when the world as we know it dies?
Discredited for the foolish things
What if the source that you dismiss is what will confound the wise?

When unofficial platforms become the megaphones we utilize
Many false amid the true will arise
As reality becomes artificial for the connections that we digitize
Trading cash for currency transfers
A birth at the funeral of the way we monetize

Economic transitions to dictate the wealth and remake the rules
As they outlaw former trusts and criminalize the fools

Resign all conspiracy to myth if it makes it easier to ignore
But what if there’s something to it when rumors become true acts of war?
