In the cave
Dark as night
Cling to your shackles
Don't even fight,

For outside the cave,
Out in the sun,
Outside the matrix
You become one.

There, all alone,
You'll face the work
Of bearing the burdon
We all choose to shirk,

And think for yourself
And open your mind,
And question the dogma
That you've been assigned

By this sound-byte world
The harsh fragmentation
The mass hypnosis
We call education.

You'll seek out truth
And proof to enforce it
Without any spin
Or big-name endorsement

You'll challenge your bias.
You'll face your fears
Of testing your credo,
Of obstenate jeers.

For when you seek truth
Authority fumes.
You are not to think;
only assume

That what you are told
Is what you should believe
And that counter-arguments
Are there to deceive.

So stay in that cave
Content and unwary
For outside is thought,
And freedom is scary.
