GASLIGHTERS <\/p>\n

Watch out for those gaslighters,
\nThey are playing with your mind,
\nTwisting facts, perverting truth,
\nTheir game is to leave you blind.<\/p>\n

Yes, psychological manipulation,
\nIs the choice tool of their trade,
\nBending your reality every day,
\nAffecting choices that you made.<\/p>\n

TV, newspapers or on the web,
\nThey are always spinning a tale,
\nBombarding with their ideology,
\nA plan born in the bowels of Hell.<\/p>\n

You see something a certain way,
\nBut they convince you that it’s not,
\nBeware of their cunning words,
\nDon’t be deceived by their vile rot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
