That means each line has to have 12.5 words and each stanza has to have 50 words. This is gonna be interesting.

Work Is Worship

if you lead with biased passion, rise above the fabricated strong hold
devote yourself to a strange wisdom, and don’t comply with the bullshit
my accolades are paved in gold, there is no one who can compete
bow down without any questions, to the cause you must be invested

sell all that is tainted and corrupted, build the concept of pure perfection
new age religion conquers the main stream, it’s the death of future progress
slave labor tames all the peasants, who tried to buck the system of congress
lay down and fall in line, punishment for living in disobedience

break your back with blood and sweat, loan out your freedom in sacrifice
faith is broken and hung upside down, crucified on steel crosses
light leaves your eyes burned out, flesh baked in the mid-day sun
tainted shadows follow you home, and haunt your every dream while you sleep

silence is the vow you must adhere to, washed out landscapes call out
protecting those unable to carry on, fighting for the elderly being brow beat
taking it all in stride for your wife, and keeping the children pure and innocent
a man is judged by his actions, and the work he’s forced to worship
