A poem for our time

in poem •  7 years ago  (edited)

The majority rules
Or do they?
The apathetic lazies
call people crazies
When we speak out
it's all a conspiracy
as powers above they pillage thee
Rank inequality
but less extreme poverty
Red herrings are abundant
the people's voice redundant
Politicians are repugnant
We see them as incumbent
The world is rent asunder
They kill off all the wonder
Free thought is dead
The shit you're fed
It's in your head
Make sure you take tjose meds
What kind of pills they got you on?
it's all up in your phaneron
When hope is gone
pretend you won
When all is dead
Things are better off left unsaid
