Plutocracy

Another body on the news today.
At least one everyday.
I wonder,
if in all the time in all the minds,
if ever,
just once,
humanity made it through 24 hours without eating itself.

But there are many levels and like all things,
except science,
it is subjective.
A view from many windows ranging from nano-to-macro.

Common words describe horrors which in turn become common.

A Micro cosmos of infinite wisdom pour down through history,
falling,
dripping,
through grasping fingers
until all we have left is... Common knowledge.

A fly crawls across a swollen belly and flicks to a and fro,
dancing with it's partners up dry nasal cavities
and it evokes nothing more than mild irritation.

A blink,

a push of a button...

"...and another survivor is kicked of the island." (Mocking radio voice)

10% controls the masses and if you do the math the other 90% do without.
Without math, because they don't have classes.
Without class because, we are the cattle

No more pyramids,
there's a brand new paradigm
An old world order,
a grand new design.
But don't worry, you can't fight it...

...it's already here

A fascist oligarchy sits in an ivory tower
We the earth, their solid foundation
A ruling plutocracy has bought their power
We are the people, they are the nation.

We have sold our souls
Morality is illusion,
dispensed on a personal level
Religion aids in the confusion
It serves its own goals

The faithful call for peace, goodness and turning the other cheek.
yet their Walmart hand-bags and denim levi's are all that they seek.
They say heaven awaits for the humble and meek,
but heaven exists already for them and for me,
For our future is bright and theirs so bleak.

For the ones and more that break from the streets,
scratching life from the rock and skill from belief
They become polluted by the process
Empty soul sockets, but don't worry...
Gucci provides relief.
