Allegory - Strange Water

Strange water flows freely Right through towns centre Nobody suspects anything So we drink it to excess It flows from the wide mouth Of the high lofty hills above Straight onto our eager tongues But we don't dare question it For its source seems pure Like the artist's untainted painting It caresses our ego with seductive allure Like it's some sort of cure For our perceived inadequacies And the reality of our insanity Is that it's all an illusion Just a simulated humanity To feed a system of corruption Perhaps One doomed to destruction Many are blinded by this water This strange, delicious water Because it tastes so sweet But numbs us from head to feet This strange marvellous water Is keeping our minds trapped From seeing the real truth ...That we are without limits!
