They Lie.
Buy the face cream that will take 20 years off how you look and only cost the same as a weekly shop and They Lie. Plant a tree instead, you will feel better.
Spend all your free time scrolling through your smart (??) phone and wonder then why you feel so disconnected and They Lie. Plant a seed instead, you will feel more connected.
Drink and be merry and pretend to belong and post it all online for validation and They Lie. Go for a walk in nature instead and validate yourself and this is self empowerment.
Go with the flow and follow the crowd and then wonder why you feel ill at ease with the world around you and then they tell you to pill pop to feel better and They Lie. Say No to the outer and Yes to the inner and see what happens.
Climb the corporate ladder and keep going after more, more, more and greed is good and They Lie. Climb a mountain instead and you might just conquer yourself.
Study and study more and forget all else but the academic and pursue the career path and do not look right or left and focus on your goal of reaching.. where??? and They Lie. Bring balance to your life and enjoy the journey and take time out to smell the roses and walk your own path.

Spend your paycheck on a designer pair of shoes to confirm your self worth and to be accepted by others who spend their paychecks on designer goods and They Lie. If you pretend to be someone you are not to gain acceptance then acceptance will always be out of your reach because self acceptance is key.
Buy the bigger house and then the larger one and then the massive one and that will make you someone and They Lie. Walk your own path and be no ones fool.
Purchase the car then the SUV then the Rolls and keep going and keep spending and hang out with others who do the same so all keep each other trapped in the circle of nonsense and They Lie. Less is more and don’t let anyone tell you any different. As long as you have your needs met then you are ok and then think about giving a hand up (not a hand out) to another.
Chase after Fame and Fortune and ignore the good advice that is given to you along the way and instead listen to those who would profit from you and They Lie. Heed the quiet voice that is sent to help you and trust your instincts and don’t fall victim to flattery.
Pick a side they say, Right Wing or left wing and They Lie. Because you need both wings to fly.
Choose a career before you are ready and mature enough to decide for yourself and They Lie. You have options, always. They may not be options that others (the control dramas) accept but it is your life not theirs, so stand up for You and for Life.
Hate minorities and pick on the underdog and gang up on anyone who is different from you, they say and They Lie. They neglect to tell you it is themselves they hate and it is themselves they pick on and they gang up on themselves because they are afraid and they live in fear because they fear facing themselves. And what are you afraid of? And why lie?
Mother Earth is Rising. Are You?
