You are an object to be evaluated
worthless unless assimilated
fruitful for us, but otherwise castrated
we'll stoke your desires, impossibly sated
We teach you to not know a thing
lest you find out that you're just
a cock fighting in the ring
Just a fool for our amusement
Willing to shed your blood
so you can pay your many rents
You were so young when
we sold you the dream
Now forever tied
to this nightmare machine
Our every machination
is geared for your exsanguination
We'll rule over every nation
reveling in their tribulation!
You are just a cog in our machine
freely discarded once no longer pristine
we build up temptation to fuel you
but insist you stay clean
You have the instincts of an animal
We'll abolish empathy and exploit them all
We teach you to ravage your prey
no use for conscience, it gets in the way
So we set up ritual in its place
learn to perform the sacrifice
and appreciate the taste
You were so young when
we sold you the dream
Now forever tied
to this nightmare machine
Our every machination
is geared for your exsanguination
Our lust for domination
Will end in global damnation

About Me
- J. Dominic Fisher
- "Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for the profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men: Therefore the people alone have an incontestible unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it." -- Constitution of Massachusettes (1780)
You are such a good writer. The words do make me think again and again.

Wow! How did I miss this before? Excellent job on both a poetic and conceptual level. I really enjoyed it. Kudos!
