Old Gods step aside for the New but the New Gods do not speak the truth.

Taking words of innocence they bite   and chew     and swallow       and spew   forth feigned intelligence their best of friends: our ignorance

power fuels control control returns the favour the one true mind- and-soul-enslaver

their power stems from our belief they write what we hear and see a vicious blinding, cyclic mess the New Refrain we must digest "fear and hate: the terrorist rejoice: the neoliberalist"

the New Gods bend religion, and science disprove the proof, brook no defiance that which will not be otherwise silenced is met with force and cold hard violence

and while the restrictions increasingly grow the all-pervasive steals the show the one commandment, set in stone "FEAR THAT WHICH YOU DO NOT KNOW"
