bourgeois decadence

Post by mtmynd » September 18th, 2020, 9:08 am

deep siphoning
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

It runs deep.
As deep as this blip
called humanity has been
fooling itself beside mountains.

so few with so much
the transfer of wealth
the needy without jobs
the arrogance of the new slave masters
their muscles burgeoning
their cruelty, disregard for those in pain
how do they sleep
how did it become so carefree
to ignore suffering
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
