Empathetically void
Purveyors of distraction
Dismember our species
Terrorize the rest.
Hijacked tax brackets
Fashioned into
The sharpest instruments
Drag 'cross our wits and wrists
Coming up short on
Time to unravel this
Epic riddle slipped in
side our timeline by the enemy
~
When speech is free but no one hears you when you call
The dangled keys of capitalism enthrall
How long
Must this go on?
Endless zombies lumber through your every haunt
If you wake them they will
eat you on the spot
How long
Must this go on?
Wasted breath on dried out dreams
Save it for the pain-filled screams
Sounds of their God
Letting them rot.
Recognizing what's at stake
And the bough's about to break
How long
Must this go on?
~
Emotions retarded
We expose our hearts to
Heart-eating garbage com-
pactors, mechanic
distractions act as soul thrashing tractors
Gathering mass as they
spin off axis and crash
Paralyzed by options
Whirlwind, rip-curl Gnostics
Obfuscate hot topics
Orbiting bucolic
Answers to their queries
When their message should be
"If you don't think it is possible to change the world,
All that means is you won't be one of the ones who do."

(Woo woo woo)Who
pays to correct you when you step out of the narrative?
Thought up, bought up
taught as fact yet
Carved from ill intent
Unstable power-driven
Robots write the scenes
That form the minds of those who tune in
To their frequency.
Money's one thing,
but now we see
how you
WIELD YOUR FORTUNE
Half-truth propaganda
Scans my iris, I wish I was
Vicious I would rip this
Business skyward to ex
pose those liars
And if you're trained you see
Just how subtly
This scandal wrinkles flags,
Entire maps would be half mast
Money's one thing,
but now we see
how you
WIELD YOUR FORTUNE

Now that I have your attention
I feel the need to mention several problematic practices that can be traced back to the ever increasing gap between the classes. The top of Maslow's pyramid makes a poignant point, yet few glimpse beyond step 2, physical safety, into loving & belonging, not for want of trying, but the luxury of free time- Let alone the peace of mind to formulate healthy habits to the point where we become attractive to others with healthy habits. The powers that shouldn't be use invisible tools to keep us divided by our differences, bickering over issues that are non-issues because of their commonality with basic human rights, such as plant cultivation and loving freely. We should have graduated a century ago, instead we celebrate their allowance. This is class warfare.

Don't believe demons who de-
mand we amp up for manned battle between
people who only want to be left alone,
This is industrialized resource laundering
Culture crusher turned to 10

It's easy to sink
Most of us love the company
A certain charm
Grows like a mold after a while
Rusted and cold
Grabbing at ankles from below
Stay in your lane, seeking truth, but
knowledge lies outside of comfort
Wait in the wind
Dedicate patience to lift off
Carrying up
Few will appreciate the work
Make it a point
To reach out to those of us who smile
Stay in your lane, seeking truth, but
Knowledge lies outside of comfort.
Let them spin their wheels in should have's
Nautical elixir scripted thought
Drape a cape across a sturdy frame
Fasten strings to feel the whistlers pull
