Labyrinth

Journeying through the land of the living as a mortal man
Analyzing misgivings that I don't understand  
Wondering if we're offspring of mad scientists  
Who're observing and testing if we can coexist  
 
Like in a game of chess, where it's white versus black  
Then as capitalists gaining from what others lack  
One's back's against the wall, trying not to fail  
The other's stacks stand tall, living fairytales  
 
Heaven versus Hell, haves versus have nots  
Pursuit of retail fulfilled, or not, being plots  
What the blood clot's happening in the world today  
We're stuck in this rat race, trying to find our way
