The Human Soul
Everything’s going up in smoke tonight
Temperature is rising from the fire below
Speaking in curses to mask such delight
While momentum has started to plateau
Positive thinking can only lead one so far
Losing ground to a pack of assorted lies
On the face of fear it’s grown quite bizarre
Tired of living this life built on compromise
Everybody’s wired on opinions from fools
Mass confusion intended to keep control
Propaganda is used by all corporate tools
As a means to prosper off the human soul

Author's Note
Late night musing. Words are magic in this world, they can be used for good or for evil. Us poets/poetesses know that better than most. Appreciate you.

Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine."

As if our bodies weren't enough corruption does cut through
to our soul. Some do operate on the opinions of fools. Very
intelligent write. Appreciate you!
Love Tom Petty at the end.

We are sold lie after lie after lie - and the worst part is: many buy it.
What a stellar piece, Damian, I love all stanzas, but especially the last one.
"Mass confusion intended to keep control" > ain't that the truth!
I appreciate you.
...oh and amazing Tom Petty quote...

The pain I felt with this one... You're a wonderful poet, please keep writing. There aren't words enough to express what this write means to me. I just can't stand that you or anyone else has to feel that way at all. I'm sorry, and please take care.

Re. The Human Soul
From the perspective of the individually existential self, speaking with strict paranoid cynicism, all otherly language may be considered as propaganda, at least potentially.
And of course college trained professionals realize that this psychological factoid is the weak link in societal cohesion, and therefore the main target for divide and conquer efforts, by whatever organization is engaging in the technique.
Heartwarming, eh?
This is why I say that the indifferent universe loves a saboteur, as the propagandists keep trying to sever our lovely links of cohesion.
Solidarity is the antidote.
