Malthusian Agenda

The corporation hatched a plan To hack away the code of life Arrogance and greed then began Plotting to profit from our strife This nation's lost attention span Grants dull stone to sharpen their knife Cloaked under the guise of science Shilling poisons that sap the land To whittle our self-reliance Snake-oil reptiles on the grandstand Hypnotize to bilk compliance While defiling this fragile strand As long as stars dance in the sky Power lust shall tempt to destroy The fruits we harvest to supply Vast growth in harmony with joy Such balance proves grace must apply Valor pleads we purge the decoy Yet mercantile lies still defend Models plotted to reduce chance Shepherds willing to condescend That in the name of grim finance All individuals must end Every endeavor to advance So they sow oblivion's seed While denying true creation Bombarding genomes they proceed To execute devastation For these elitists stand agreed We deserve only starvation
