Capitalism in the "Free" World

The point of detesting humanity,

Bitter because of all that's ugly

It's not all light and sunshine

We exist in darkness and the light

Just as our bodies cannot shed

Their shadows,

Neither can our souls.

How to make generalizations

Don't make generalizations.

Buy more, save more,

Penalizing those of us who just want one.

Pay more, or pay more and get extra.

4 credit class;

"Intro to Second Life"

Jocks and trigger pullers,

Well it's not so important

That they think,

You see, actually,

It's much better that they don't.

Listen, obey, don't think;

Your life may depend upon it

"Trust me" he says from

Behind an evil grin

With angel wings

The wolf in sheep's clothes

There is danger everywhere

You'd better beware

Anyone could be a terrorist

You, me, he, she,

Muslim, Christian,

Dangerous atheists.

Marijuana; our soma,

Propaganda opposition for so long

Slipping freely into society

Cheap, legal, profitable, "medical"

Oh please let us sedate ourselves

Let sleeping dogs lie,

Poke us with a stick

Pull our tails

We won't rouse in revolt.

Do as you please with us

Because we're too complacent

We cling to our comfortable slavery,

And you rob us of our souls

We become just bodies and

Passive minds

Performing mechanical motions

Predictably formed by weak notions

We will be slaves to plantation

OWNERS.

For hundreds of years

We will be the calm ox in the field.

Centuries and generations will be fettered

To the American nightmare

Of destitution and poverty

We are breeding and weeding out intelligence.

Evolutionarily speaking, it's not conducive to

Survival of the fittest. 

The moats of fire that surround us,

Surely impassable,

Designed for the thinkers demise.

The schools are prisons

Detainment; retarding development

Our soul is the only voice saying

"Hey, something isn't right"

But it's a whisper that only rises

Late in the night

In dreams shrouded by exhaustion.
