First, they whisper:
Something’s wrong.
Then they lean closer:
It could happen to you.
Soon the music swells,
the shadows stretch,
the numbers climb.
Don’t worry—
they’ve brought a torch.
All you have to do
is follow it
into the dark.

You weren’t pushed.
You were shown the crowd.
Smiling.
Certain.
Already inside.
It’s hard to stand alone
when everyone else
looks so comfortable
agreeing.
The bandwagon never shouts.
It simply fills up—
and leaves without you.

First, they show you the fire.
Close enough to feel the heat.
Then they widen the flames—
this could spread,
this could reach you.
Only after the smoke thickens
does the solution appear,
calm, ready,
waiting in their hands.
Fear opens the door.
The offer walks in....

He smiles,
misdirects,
plants a word,
lets you think it was yours.
You applaud the trick.
But the same hands
frame headlines,
design choices,
shape what feels obvious.
The theatre is smaller than you think.

Plato called it the noble lie:
a story told
not because it was true,
but because it held things together.
We still tell them—
we just call them narratives
and pretend
we chose them.

We didn’t sell mud or tents or queues.
We sold a memory
they hadn’t finished with yet.
We wrapped discomfort in nostalgia,
called inconvenience a rite of passage,
and let the crowd do the rest.
They didn’t feel persuaded—
they felt summoned.

No need to be fair or be bold.
The word stood in place
Of a life and a face,
And the lie was much easier sold.

Ten thousand steps,
clean, round, reassuring.
Not discovered,
not tested—
chosen.
A number born in an advert
learned to walk into habit,
then into belief.
You follow it daily,
faithfully,
never asking
who decided
that this was
the finish line.
