Agitation
For my soul feels agitated
with desire for my rights
overriding reason.. desire
to overcome the oppressors
The yoke of oppression
The set of the system..
relegates me to a state
where i have to struggle
against great odds to be
accorded opportunity
Opportunity to eat
off the sweat of my brow
the set of the system is that
those who have amass more
at the expense of those who lack
the set of the system is having to struggle..
while you are fooled that the more you struggle
the better you're station in life becomes - deluded
that you station in life is as a result of your effort
that more effort the higher you will rise in status
Delusion of the system the set of the system
is that you have been denied the opportunity...
through the willful manipulation of the system..
with the powers be... eternally clinging to power
i give you one word my beloved friend.. Dominion
Dominion.. they said to the good teacher
you're kingdom our empire.. as they hung
him up..they paid abeyance by taking over
thus the creed according to the conqueror
gained ground and the set was established
I only pay Obeyance to the Supreme..
and i only pledge my sword to the Supreme
as for dominion it belongs to he who sits
on that one throne.... as for the Creator
He has granted man the right to determine
how he wants to be governed that's Dominion
