|
under the ruins of a paradise never to be known
|
crushed beneath the feet of gods who
|
reap what we have sown
|
as the industrial neo-fascists slash and burn through flesh
|
endorse the individual but sacrifice the rest
|
i want the truth to be told
|
that we are more than the sum of what we're sold
|
social darwnist manipulation
|
multilateral agreement for the devastation
|
of all but the hegemon while we as one
|
are sacrificed on the alter
|
in the age of the refugee this era of death for profit
|
ideals alone will minimize the fringe
|
organization can enhance empowerment
|
against forced abortions and sterilizations
|
clitoridectomy aberrations
|
oil addiction inculcation while alternatives face negation
|
by those who anesthetize the mind
|
and invest in broken lives
|
disorganize overpower exploit and stratify
|
the distorted promise of a free exchange haunts us through
|
the debts we pay to the alliances which turn me against
|
those around me
|
and against myself
|
generation after generation enduring apocalyptic visions
|
in individual private hells with bodies weak
|
and minds distorted with nothing left to sell
|
while the masters of the new fuedal age
|
drink to satisfy an unquenchable thirst
|
gulping our blood our sweat and spit back lies
|
are these our lives?
