deep siphoning

Post by mtmynd » March 8th, 2020, 12:42 pm

_________

don't believe them
they all lie and cheat
bourgeois decadence

they make money prisoners
stashed away in bank dungeons
never to run free like currency should
damn them

they take money prisoners
slave labor no benefits
no assurance no insurance
damn them

don't believe them
they grab and steal
bourgeois decadence

all is an investment
estate living without giving
'work for it' they say
'or do without it'

don't believe them
they speak in tongues
their own language

they commit crimes
against the natural flow
bourgeois decadence

they pile high their plates
pigs at a trough
never to be slaughtered

their freedom of greed
their freedom of gluttony
their freedom of lust
damn them

their freedom of excess
their freedom of press
self promotion of egos
god, damn them

proletariat toil
manure on the soil
feed their greed
bourgeois decadence

don't believe them
they deceive you
empty promises
empty your pockets

free credit cards
endless debt
new age slavery
intimidate

nothing to lose
but your dreams
never fulfilled
damn them

bourgeois decadence
material romance
dance with the wolves
don't get lost in envy

the s7en sins
core the rot
cacophony of din.

humankind

a pyre cleft behind
whales whisperscream
leaving each bland branch blind

.


you conscious expression moves me.
.homesick. but homeless.

Too crowded! But then, when was it not too crowded? Go back four thousand years and recite Bible verses recounting ancient wars on that point, but that ain't the point, is it? Well on a day to day basis, through generations maybe, but why make it final? Why nail that to our nature? Because there's a goddamned buck to be made from it?

I don't think so.
