[ 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
