False Flag - Docile Body

Process of enlightenment facilitates
Dehumanisation
Resistance grows feeble against
Apparatus of mass manipulation
Look here, we are docile subjects. Addicted to dopamine and caught in echo chambers.
More so this is a spectacle of varying personae with anxiety as primary symptom.
"Resistance to irrational is what makes us profoundly human"
What can be simulated, need not be done.
Self-preservation?
There's no self to preserve.

Object of discourse is
Object of desire
Body is fetishised, dance floor exploits.
Let's dance, the dance floor exploits us
Toxic masculine,
intoxication
Media normalises, consents out of question.
Systematic violence
Unwelcome advances
Narrative of male gaze
Hypocrites teach restrain
In theory we teach respect
In practice your hand is up their skirts?
Sound of my silence, is your safe space
Sound of our silence, is your safe space.

False Flag - Counterfeit

Riddle me this
I don't understand!
How can one man be the salvation of a nation that's fucked historically?
For, history truly is a bedtime horror story
That left us to deal with its unresolved conflicts
And only buried dead bodies!
And whose history is being spoken of, while we raise monuments and appropriate them for a suitable narrative?
Over-promise!
Under deliver!
Over and over!
Answers to these questions are more and more questions
While a pre-existing condition has a conditioned response!
Counterfeit saviours
At the cost of common denominators

देशाचा विकास छप्पन इंचाच्या बंधनान्मध्ये कसा सामावणार?? //
देश का विकास छप्पन इंच के बन्धनो में कैसे समायेगा??

The masters have changed
But not the slaves
A cocoon of silence engulfs this city
Deaf to the screams outside this valley
Someday your walls will fall
One day this bubble will burst
And you'll hear the cries
This bastion of bigotry
This fortress of inequality
Architects of all that is wrong
What have you done?
This city with no conscience, no standards
Must fall, must burn
(Over the past decade, Nepal has transitioned from a monarchy to a republic, but mindsets majorly remain the same. And this is true especially for Kathmandu, the capital city. Kathmandu is still where all the power in Nepal lies. It lives in its own bubble; no tragedy outside the valley fazes it.)

Against the state that suppresses their rights
They start a movement for what they've been denied
Ensnared by lies, deprived of their dues
They take to the streets, the marginalised
It's happened before, history repeats
Rest assured, bodies will fall
The privileged, they gaze down in disgust
Too self-absorbed to understand the cause
Incubating hate, breeding distrust
"e;
Who the fuck are they, these foreigners
Across the border, that's where they belong
Disturbing our peace, gun them down!
"e;
One has more clout than the other
The divide, it only gets wider
A gift from the state
A bullet for your head
To add to the dead
(A parallel can be drawn between the Madhesi/Tharu people of the Southern plains of Nepal and the Nepali-speaking Gorkha population of the Darjeeling hills across the border in West Bengal, India, both of whom have gone through several violent protests against the power centres in Kathmandu and Kolkata, respectively. Marginalised and neglected for decades, these people have endured brutal, bloody movements in order to be heard, and every time protesters have been slaughtered by the state. While all this takes place, the privileged living in Kathmandu and Kolkata fail to understand what they're fighting for, instead dismissing the agitators as "foreigners" - referring to the Madhesi as "Indians" and the Gorkhas as "Invaders from Nepal".)
