Dear Dark Friend

Creaky door opening from one blackened room To another Something enters Looms Warm breath on your neck You Business leaders Are the first to go The most susceptible To my thoughts about your future Hold out your hands What do you feel? Yes that’s it a carrot and stick Now feel the blade of steel to your throat My friend So maybe your side gig Running your newspaper platform or TV network Should tone it down right now just a little innocent bit? Take a stand? I’d suggest you shouldn’t get into the mess It’d be all too easy to get tripped up Pushed over in the dark And it’s not so easy to find your legs underneath you When you’re blind Know what I mean? I don’t even require of you to say anything out loud Just think my thoughts to yourself There you go Don’t worry about the rest Just give me obeyance of money in the form of Shut up Do not object That’s all you have to do sweet CEO To remain rich perhaps richer than ever Or to remain Well What can I say? Alive If I were to be at first freely elected The sheep will follow the smell of your profits The sight of your voicelessness The caress of your couragelessness That’s it You’re brave my friend Stand there in the dark All you have to do is wait for it The creaking door Let me in Let me pass you by I’ll make the decisions And no one will notice Our dark beginning.
