Feed the Enlightened

‘Free at last’ for the Mass
Comes when you lay your Black ass down
For that inevitable dirt nap
Long before the checkered flag
Exhaustion sets in
What happened to the exhilaration and adrenaline experienced at the starting line?
Barely halfway to the finish
And you’ve already witnessed
Ninety percent of the race’s participants relent
Who could blame them?
Examine the choices challenges and chances  
As the world grows colder
For the struggler striver survivor
The odds are no longer in our favor
Wonder if they ever were?
Many philosophies carry the secret to happiness for the economically unfortunate
Yet none of them acknowledges
Hindrances created by the One Percent  
This makes enlightenment for the “Have Not” farfetched because
Basic necessities are harder to get
It’s an age old adage; cosmic illumination and Wealth don’t mix
First…
Quell their hunger
Then
Quench the thirst
Best to be well nourished
Before assuming the Lotus Position
It is imperative that the current World Governing Party
Keep thirty-three point three percent of the masses
In ignorant bliss with benefits  
Devil’s deeds
They will do  
Dirt Cheap
With the utmost gratitude  
Enemies of the… Higher Mental State
