Oratory

Go to school
Go to work
School is good
Work is boss
Boss is word
Boss is clout
Clout is king
Clout is cash
Cash is king
Cash is word
Word's power
Word's corrupt
Corrupt gods
Corrupt men
Men in power
Men with price
Price of men
Price of fame
Fame illusion
Fame deceptive
Deceptive game
Deceptive lives
Lives ruined
Lives messed

Messed ideals
Messed morals
Morals in shambles
Morals for power
Power corrupts
Power kills you
You wanted on
You can't get off
Off with your youth
Off with your head
Head to the lake
Head anywhere
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but slavery

Slavery not freedom
Slavery for the man
Man this is hard
Man this drains
Drains your soul
Drains your self-respect
Self-respect nil
Self-respect not
Not in good health
Not good at all
Head is what you give
Head is currency
Currency is looks
Currency is bribes
Bribes ....
Looks ....

Poem written in 'Blitz' style, made into song lyrics.
Normally, a Blitz style poem has 50 lines, but I went over a bit on this one with 54.
