Lack of Curiosity
An inactive population is the key to government control
You pathetic humans rather watch someone's life on a smartphone
Than participate in your own
Mentally you feel helpless
Physically you wanna a give up
Government pricks price healthy food so high
Dollar stores sell you toxic stuff
They drug your food at your job
Mix hormones in kids lunches at school
Don't say no to the pill, it's good for you
Boys become men and grow up muscular
Short tempered and fucking dumb
Girls become women and develop these outrageous curves ...

Possibly From Gulping Down Too Many Beers
Darlene woke naked and hungover.
She remembered Walter offering her a beer.
Afterwards, her mind went blank.

The Real Enemy
You’d best chain those super-rich before they chain you.
But oh, my dears, you’re too busy fussing and fighting
with each other to take notice of what they’re up to.
They’ve got all the money.
Or they’ve got control of all the money.
They—or the public relations strategists who work for them—
started all the fusses, all the fights.
They set all the fires.
And you got spooked, hooked, hoodwinked by one or more of the various traumas
they’ve cooked up to distract you,
the various conflagrations they’ve arsoned—real or...

Presumed hunger
Premeditated situations
and pre-cooked annihilations.
Preheated eliminations,
precepts, losses, predators,
nothing changes the colors of poverty.
Chameleons are the rich ones
and they change, change color
and change again to a color they don't have.
The rich eat poverty for breakfast
so let's change directions,
change emotions,
and let's eat the rich
even though the rich are poor
in nutrients and proteins.
Since they have many colors,
we will eat them with our eyes
and season them...
and pre-cooked annihilations.
Preheated eliminations,
precepts, losses, predators,
nothing changes the colors of poverty.
Chameleons are the rich ones
and they change, change color
and change again to a color they don't have.
The rich eat poverty for breakfast
so let's change directions,
change emotions,
and let's eat the rich
even though the rich are poor
in nutrients and proteins.
Since they have many colors,
we will eat them with our eyes
and season them...

furious you might be doubting
you pause
to consider how best to respond
and before you have your moment to speak
is
gone
off their heads they
have
to just carry on shouting ..

Smoke And Mirrors
A flicker of truth buried deep
Hidden secrets shadows keep
Promises woven spun with care
Illusions dancing in the air
They build a stage, a grand facade
Crafting stories to earn applause
A play of power, sharp and sly
Obvious lies unquestioned why
Beneath the surface what's inside
Lies the rot they want to hide
Smokescreens swirl, mirrors gleam
Hiding motives within the scheme
When deals are struck behind closed doors
Whose interests guard their vaulted...

On The Brink (collab with DamianDeadLove)
It's arriving today
Our own extinction
Created with hate
For evil we annihilate
Been digging graves
Under a blood red moon
Until the enemy caves
Falling like a lead balloon
Filling our lungs
With winds of death
Crushing our bones
And burning our flesh
Air raid siren screams
Feeling panic build inside
Acid infested streams
Death rolls in with the tide
Our world is under siege
Because of "their" reign
For those who survive
Nothing but torment,...

Truths we would like to hear
How refreshing would it be if we heard a politician say:
I don't believe in God and I don't believe in the protection and welfare of our citizens, their health & their safety
I plan on placing my friends in executive positions
I will pocket what funds I can get away with, but see that the rest is spent on my election
You will have no voice in my decisions any more then you ever had
You will have to accept my judgement, which you will have no choice
If I succeed in fooling the public, the public will have themselves to blame...

How The Mighty Had Fallen
Oh; how the mighty had fallen
Once a lion; now barely crawling
A land where rivers of wealth once flowed
Now cracked with hunger; dreams corrode
They sold our gold for a bowl of dust
Fed us lies and broke our trust
Once the Giant; tall and proud
Now we kneel; heads bowed
The king feasts while beggars wail
The throne is built on chains and nails
They buy mansions across the sea
While we drown in poverty
They raise the tax; inflate the price
Turn our sweat to sacrifice
A day's wage won’t buy a meal ...
Once a lion; now barely crawling
A land where rivers of wealth once flowed
Now cracked with hunger; dreams corrode
They sold our gold for a bowl of dust
Fed us lies and broke our trust
Once the Giant; tall and proud
Now we kneel; heads bowed
The king feasts while beggars wail
The throne is built on chains and nails
They buy mansions across the sea
While we drown in poverty
They raise the tax; inflate the price
Turn our sweat to sacrifice
A day's wage won’t buy a meal ...

Wake The f**k Up!
This democracy is so full of hypocrisy
The digital age spawned a cesspool of degeneracy
Repeating the cycle of stupidity
Taking a shit on our civil liberties
Divide the blind from those who see
They infect this nation with ideas of freedom
A false reality is what they give us
In their promise to "save" us
Terrorist-tic tactics feed the machine
We are all just slaves to corrupted authority
The CIA and the DEA burned the constitution of the USA
While Politicians in DC are never locked away

Anti-Establishment
Just beyond the Verizon I foresee
Our veins will become circuitry
Mindless drones consuming the disease in denial
No original thought process in their empty minds
Just blind leading the blind
Not serving a purpose
Only purposely serving on their knees
Kill your gods
Kill your governments
Freedom exists only in the mind
The mind is a weapon you should wield
Should you choose to ignore the blueprint facade
You will succumb the the programing of a false god and government
They plot for total domination ...
Our veins will become circuitry

Disguised Dictatorship
Reign of corruption
Democracy came to an end
Money for justice
Blinded by the government
Vultures overflying
Waiting death of society
Death by the government
Maniac ideology spreading blood!!
Dictatorship disguised
Growing up on their lies
Brainwashing decadent minds
Hidden the truth of our eyes
Hiding the murders
Guilty without guiltiness
Rotten state
Rapist of justice and liberty
Bloodstained
Wrong-way of democracy
Ruling through fear
Amorphous equality painted with blood!!
