Under Control
Please, do not panic. Do not be alarmed.
Relax and make yourself comfortable.
If you remain calm, you will not be harmed.
You will find yourself sustained and stable.
We can provide you perpetual bliss
And dismiss despair if you accept this.
Please, do not find a reason to worry.
There is no need to enter a fury
Of frantic malcontent. Just be peaceful.
Assist your happiness in a hurry.
Everything is under our control.
Your expenses are accommodated.
This is a free trip forward and ahead.
Smile. You are correct to be elated.
Forge to the frontiers yet to be tread.
See a world of options—unmade choices—
That can lead to our unified voices
Saying the same thing—all in unison.
Let us function as your kind liaison.
Let us speak directly to your warm soul.
We can make you a much better person.
Everything is under our control.
Take a sip of your refreshing water.
Cool down in hydration and then reflect.
For what purpose should our viewpoints differ?
Cannot our opinions now connect?
Why not simplify the situation
By removing some small deviations?
We could cause the malfunctions to adjust,
Leaving all of us to completely trust
In each other—now with mutual goals—
To eliminate what appears unjust.
Everything is under our control.
Lay down for a while and choose not to fret.
It is ok. We will be here for you
Regardless if you make yourself upset.
There is no meaning in those things you do.
Your ideas do not truly matter,
But we can pretend so as to flatter
And reassure your dropping confidence.
If you perceive that you have cognizance,
It will repair you. We want to console
And recognize your action's consequence.
Everything is under our control.
Register yourself for the tests today,
Though your name is already in our files.
