[ Politics ] Power and Control
Still coveting what you stole
Always first to bribe the Devil;
last in line to pay the toll
To Hell with the common people -
sign away their collective soul---
now your property to condemn
as you turn your back on them
Personal accounts padded with zeros
while covering your own asses
More monsters than any heroes
to the cowering masses
shriveling at your display of
Control and Power
Power and Control
the balance of which teeters
begins to shift and swiftly sway
swiveling in every direction
with the exception of your way
In the highest Ivory Tower
you can find the greatest leaders
but underneath their charms
reside the highly insecure
willing to risk the peace with harms
greedily grabbing with hands idled
for what they are entitled
So, be watchful
Ever mindful
in these dire times that we live
Above and beyond everything
be careful of those you would give
Control and Power
Power and Control
