The World of Fraud

Stolen golden treasure chest Dead man lying on his chest Discarded like garbage Because we act like we all savage Eaten by vultures As greed transcends cultures Lying gypsies False omens like eclipses Fake prophecies They packed their bags for those ill fated odysseys Yardstick to success is how much property we hold We are no longer human because all we seek is gold We know not our future because it is untold And decided to destroy that of an unborn soul So that the onlooker will behold Our fabulous riches and majestic comportment Our foundation is weak And so is our government When an empire reaches its peak It is natural for it to decline Chills runs down my spine As I try to unwind And enjoy music and wine in the grape vine By the way Which is not mine? So I am about to be evicted Foolish rich man who owned the whole world Lost his soul And achieved his goal He amassed a lot of coins But vanished from the earth His body is dump in a hole Naked and he return without a dime to hold No matter how much we have We are penniless when it time Decomposing corpses with nauseating smell They burned down Syria and turn it to a hell All because of power and money Oh yes that rings a bell How much hardships the Syrians have gone through They could not tell? Africa became a birthday cake In 2013 so that all these black ogres can take ******* fought their brothers for thousands of years Did not invest in science because nobody cares In return for muskets and the cheap liquor They sold their seeds In return for vanity They relish madness and rave in insanity Time travels faster Than the rays of light And we will all be left behind When darkness consumes what is bright A hundred years A Thousand years All that is just numbers Fools crave after material things Diamond wristwatches and gold rings Automobiles that travel faster than a jet A hundred million dollars on a bet But why do you seek my quarter When you already have all you need to get They plunder the earth for all they can find The mortgage the sun They cheat the blind. The moon becomes a man’s real property Man’s reasoning becomes an absurdity Mars is divided among men And millions of mouth they do not extend They run the banks Until they are broke They speak of corporate governance Oh what a joke All the trees cut down for the sake of money The earth is milked out Because they seek oil or her honey The rob the poor to feed the Leach They rob the rich to fed the Leach Deceit and deception See how these compulsive liars switch Money buys justice Money buys fame Greed is game While money is his name The greed of man runs through every institution Greed is reflected even in the constitution Even in our schools I see it grow Every year our tuition is increase Didn’t you know? All we care about is to succeed How you go about it Is determined by greed And build our private Elysium in the middle a hell Behind the ivory towers So that the zombies are kept away How long can we remain as prisoners? How long can we stay?
