The phrase,
To “pull wool over one’s eyes”
I apply to the loss of sunny days
(only for those searching for a pay-raise)

But of those who don’t reside in the city’s gray haze?
Those who live in crystal-blue skies,
I give them praise
…For finding new ways to stay within the maze

Do you find it a surprise?
For I’ve seen all your displays
And though I don’t enjoy goodbyes
I am no longer willing to restrict my heartbeat for this guise

So continue to call yourself wise
(I’m only slightly hypocritical)
And for now I will try not to sensationalize
The simple fact that is right before your eyes

For while you stay apolitical
I know exactly why you do not bring this lie to its demise
Perhaps in days to come they’ll say I’m hypercritical
Instead of just analytical

But to me there is only one prize
For yourselves to someday become more critical
And let go of all the intoxicating lies
