Psychotic Monopoly
Pain resides on the head of a pin
Stifled with this cruel anticipation
While torment pierces fragile skin
The mind has a sudden revelation
What was lost becomes apparent
Once untrained eyes learn to see
These lies slowly turn transparent
Allowing truth to finally break free
Doublespeak is now the standard
Hiding intentions behind a smile
Comply or prepare to be slandered
Robber-barons are growing hostile
The game of life is perpetual force
Feeding this psychotic monopoly
Until it’s cut away from the source
We’re serving time in this mockery

Late night musing. History repeats itself often. Nothing is new under the sun. It's just updated and repackaged bullshit. Appreciate you.

It takes a well spoken poet to cancel out the doublespeak.
Well done, sir, well done! 💯👍

Monopoly, what an amazing comparison and especially psychotic monopoly.
As always your observations are clever and spot on, my friend.
