lost in our delusions – v2

lost in our delusions

in repetition, repeating

the lies we have told one another

sure that we are infinitely better

than all the other nations

but the metrics tell other things

the measures of inequality

where we are lacking

falling behind many others

no better than the rest

lost in our delusions

our propaganda machine

believing our own lies

to rise above to truth

lost, complacent

sure that we are great
