Oceans ablaze

In your manipulative gaze.

You speak as if it's true.

But I'm not subject to you.

Arise, little spies,

And retrievers gilded gold,

Show me what I see.

Make her subject to me.

But Earth was here before,

And she'll be here after.

You do not decide

In such a short span of time

What is, what was,

What'll always be.

With bias so twisted,

It can be called a sickness,

How did you survive

All these years so awry?

You can tell more lies.

I'm not subject to you.

It's not my job to prove.

Reality will defeat you.
