Obey Your Masters

A giant eye painting with blood erupting from it

Am I enough? I just keep trying

This society demands production

work and earn, create and consume

It’s an endless cycle that never stops

A dangerous game so many lose

The winners call the shots

they hand out scraps for which we kill each other

Men betray their mothers for scraps from the masters

then think they are the winner

The only winners hold the bag

we just clean up their shit and call it gold

Its never enough and the goalposts keep moving

costs rising just to survive

Ripping out the saftey nets to buy the rich their gold

while children in the street drink mud from a hose

does it ever end?

It’s only gotten worse

worry about the welfare queen

while polishing your master’s shoes

Taking it in stride, thinking you’re getting ahead

You’re just the pet for the moment

Jobs I’ve worked have been a joke

bosses who thought they were masters

Only to be let go

We’re all just puppets on strings of lead

Poisoning us while controlling us

so they don’t have to pay for our healthcare

Feed the rich so we can starve

Insult the rich and their minions come running

It’s all a joke in this cosmic game

Their house of cards won’t hold as people starve

Collapsing into the streets

As the poor will devour their bones

leaving nothing behind except bad memories

The day is coming

This can’t be sustained

When no one goes hungry

as the blood of the wealthy nourishes the masses
