beware of the dispossessed
the underbelly of this world's success
built to survive the best
you throw at them from your jagged line
forget the needs of others
protect me and mine
the ones paying taxes on the taxes
of the money you stole
with the one hand that you take
occasionally bestow
processed sympathy
automatic and recyclable
a penny for the poor
makes your bullshit more likeable
moderate violence screened on CNN
all part of the plan all a means to an end
the truth behind the lies gets wrapped in cotton wool
delivered through a drip hardly leaking through
like a game of chinese whispers twisted and contorted
depending on your baggage from source to source distorted
no grey areas no struggle no fight
casual persuasion makes a whore of our rights
the loss of opinion
we're turning
they're spinning
you sense the jagged line
no more,
denial.
the answers are hidden
their record
unbeaten
you sense the jagged line
no more,
reprisal.
denial.
