Denial

Is there a cover up?
Are the conspiracies real?
All of them?
Some of them?
None of them?

Are there secrets that need telling?
Who is pulling the strings?
Is there some mastermind at the top?
Who are the conspirators?
Who are they?

Do they actually exist?
Or are we perpetuating this idea?
Are we all playing a part in this?
Are we continuing this charade because we want someone to blame,
but we can’t accept that we are all to blame?
Are we responsible for what we blame on the them?

What is it we are trying to discover?
What are we getting at?
What are we attempting to expose?
What is the mystery we’re trying to unravel?

So many of us suspect that we are being lied to;
Where does this notion come from?
Who is lying to us?
Is it some unnamed they?
Or are we lying to ourselves?
