MAX THE MATRIX MAN <\/p>\n

Hello! I am Max the matrix man,
\nDeceiving people the best I can.
\nTruth is irrelevant, I fix the plot,
\nIt could be, or perhaps it is not.<\/p>\n

I bend reality to meet our goals,
\nConfusing so many naive souls.
\nI spin “facts” which are not true,
\nFolks then wonder what to do.<\/p>\n

Pushing my lies from every side,
\nMan, I’ll take you for a big ride!
\nGaslighting is my favorite skill,
\nWatch me now go in for the kill.<\/p>\n

You think it was a certain way,
\nBut not for long if I have my say.
\nBlue pill, red pill, does it matter?
\nI’ll leave you like the Mad Hatter.<\/p>\n

It’s our game so I keep you blind,
\nThe exit out you must never find.
\nDistracting you in a million ways,
\nFilling your life with bogus plays.<\/p>\n

Just a peon trapped on our grid,
\nSo lost no matter what you did.
\nYou can’t beat our manipulation,
\nBecause we run a pro operation.<\/p>\n

We’ve been at it a very long time,
\nIt’s for your good & it’s no crime.
\nSo don’t think and just get in line,
\nFollow our plan and you’ll do fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
