The common man, bruised by his empathy,

has strayed far beyond his capacities.

Only the cunning survive the test.

The greedy, the vile and the violent

have prevailed and the wrath

of indulgence has followed

with them.

The meek shall not inherit the earth,

the lamb shall be led to its slaughter

and the wolf shall eat its fill.

Naive proletariat give rise to the refugees,

who become the damned, too weak to stand

beyond the crawl and easy targets

for the 'Super Class' to covet.

The lens of the Oligarchy owned media

keep the masses occupied and hair-trigged

for foreign invaders, backed up by strong

bigot-flavoured treatise.

While barely fledged democracy

is pounced upon by the New World Order,

controlled through stock markets

and national debt intrigue.

Rothschild owned think tanks telling us

what to think, whilst education systems

are designed to execute the middle classes.

And Orwellian prophecies are nailed

to our foreheads by false prophets.
